Best crappie ice fishing lure

[bogwalker]

What ice fishing lures have you had the most success with?

Do you use bait on them?

[jwmiller33]

flirty girty

[pow & legend]

My favorite is either the popular Demon with a minnow or the rat finkie tipped with a wax worm

[Spearing Machine]

white/pink demon or forage minnow both tipped with a crappie minnow

[luv2fish]

Ratso... white head, pink body

[jwmiller33]

speaking of the flirty girty jigs... does anybody know where i can buy some besides the HSOforum?

[Blainebob]

Genz fat boy or genz worm-each tippe dwith 3-4 colored larvae.IMO most people go too big with sticking a minnow down the hole. I have personally had great success.

#6 Glow head glow body Ratso all by itself hammers the craps

[deadeye]

Demons, mud bugs, bro bugs and hali with a dropper.

Oh, btw, they have flirty girty jigs at fleet farm.

Do you add bait to the Ratso?

[JigginIsLife]

really worked into the ratso's last season, all alone with no bait

[takeakidfishing]

Glow red frostee spoon, Glow white with pink body ratso. Yes you can add a waxie or eurolarve for taste if the are finicky.

[LivingTheDream]

Crappie Knockers - red and green

[tsande00]

small glow jigs with crappie minnows. Although I must say my success rate increased about 500% with the purchase of a flasher.

[reddsixx]

Blaine FF has Flirty Girtys.

[Fred_Bear]

Do you add bait to the Ratso?

I NEVER do for crappies

I'll add 1 euro or a GULP! Maggot to a Ratso if there's gills in the area.

[OnAFly]

Orange glow demon with a waxie or a minnow head. It always produced.

[Beaver15]

Ratsos and shrimpos

Green and pink demons

Glow Green Neon Lights Flickertail jigs

So many options.

I usually use the same type of stuff I use for bluegills. Sometimes I will use something like an Angel Eye or smaller size spoon, but I have good luck with typical panfish jigs.

I like things like Genz Worms or Fatboys, the last few years I have really been liking the Little Atom Optic Stealth jigs. Also, I used to use waxies or wigglers, but I have almost exclusively to Little Atom Plastics the last couple years, and they have been working GREAT!

Minnows work, spoons work, panfish jigs work. Most everything will work at some point or another, but I find that most times I can catch them on #10 or 12 panfish jigs and plastic.

Rat Finkee's with a couple Gulp Alive Maggots for me!

[hovermn]

I have good luck with the glow ratso. Tipped or not, it seems to work. Also use the small Chubby darter if they're aggressive. Angel Eyes tipped with a minnow head has been a producer when the bit slows down.

Of course, there's always the Fiskas Wolfram epoxy jig tipped with a wedge or nuggie! That's a killer!

[Fred_Bear]

Anyone used the Bro Bloodworws? They look like a copy-cat of rastos with some different color options so I'm guessing they would work well.

[luv2fish]

I start with the Ratso and no bait. But if my buddys are kicking my a$$ I might tip it with euro.

[Steve Foss]

Vingla tipped with either a minnow head or a waxie or two.
