Crappie Jiggin' Spoons

[lookingforluck]

I have never really used jiggin' spoons in the past but I have heard a lot of good things. I usually fish for crappies but occasionally walleyes/pike. I know there a lot brands and size/color combo's out there so I am just looking for the "go-to" spoons for people. I loaded up on some Chubbies and jiggin' Raps this year so I thought I should add spoons too. Just for reference, I usually use small glow jigs tipped with a crappie minnow under a foam or spring bobber and although I usually do pretty well I am looking to branch out this year. Thanks FM'ers!!!

Here are a few that could work well for you. I have used and own many of these jigs and they will catch you some fish whether it be eyes or crappies.

It may be a Varmit to a Glitter glow but they will catch one some crappies.

I have had the best luck on the northland forage minnows.the two smallest sizes in rainbow or red.

I'be had good luck on the rattlin Varmits for both crappies and eyes in the 1/8 oz size.

If I could seriously only have one type of spoon, it would be an 1/8oz Scenic Tackle Go-Devil Jigging Spoon. (Or JB Lures Varmint, they are the same spoon).

Favorite colors would be Perch and Glow Red.

Pretty simple.

I've caught a ton of crappies on the Demon Jigging Spoons from Custom Jigs and Spins. They are a staple in my crappie arsenal.

These past couple of weeks I've found the crappies around my area seem to be liking smaller buckshots by nothland in Green/White and Glow Red. Personally, I'll use any lure that rattles.

Thanks guys, it seems like there is some variety, I suppose whatever you have confidence in, you will use. Do you guys usually tip them with minnows, heads, tails, ect? Thanks again!!!

[Matt Breuer]

I tip them with anything from crappie minnow heads to eurolarvae. Depends on what the fish wants from day to day. IT's different a lot of times...

One very nice jig is the Go devil as it will work for eyes and crappies. One can tip it with a whole minnow, head ot just the tail and it works very well. The 1/16oz will work great for crappies or one can also go with the 1/8 oz and use them for eyes also.

On many lakes they are a killer jig.

I find it hard to believe out of quite a few responses no one even mentioned the swedish pimple. Always my go to spoon for craps. Any color works as long as it is chartruse or glow

[fishinalot]

I like "Frosties" or "pimples".

I've got some success using open water spoons: kastmater, scyclops, daredevils, little cleo.
