Question, what 3 lures would you pick for crappie.
First would be small tube jigs or curly tails...1 1/2" to 2"...white or chartreuse depending on the water and water temp and clarity. Blue and clear sparkle is also a great color combo. See pics.
Second would be small marabou jigs...same colors. Ditto for Gulp Minnows...2" - 3"
Third would be small crankbaits...2"...trolled or cast and retrieved. Black and silver or blue and silver.
But crappies also are good candidates for the flyrod...with a sinktip or slow sink line...fished about mid depth in 12 to 15 feet of water. Except when they are in close to cover for spawning. Then go shallower.
