The best crappie bait in the entire world, yes I say world, is a white
bucktail jig with pink lead head. Smaller is better.

They were known as Pinkies in the northwoods of Minnesota. They were
just about the only lure ny great uncle used. His target was always
Walleyes and he either used them plain or tipped with a minnow. I was
less particular and used them with great succes on Crappie. I would fish
them suspended below a small bobber. Very effective. Crappie seem to
like suspended lures and flies.



They were also known as pinkies here when I was a small boy, and were a
favorite on the piers into Lake Michigan among perch fishers who scorned
live (more or less) bait.
