What is the best jig for Crappies?

The TackleCity.com Crappie jig kit is pretty darn good. Glow Devils and yes, Angel Eyes as well.

I like to use a Glow Devil as my search lure when 1st locating crappies on Upper Red Lake.

When they stop slamming the heavier Glow Devils I tone down to a fluttering Angel Eye or lighter Glow Devil and when that slows then tone down some more to the TackleCity.com Crappie Jigs.

phelps tick, or snake jigs in red glow!
second my red glow angel eye.
that is just for the big red. each lake seems to be different. that lake is definately different. some lakes require the plain hook with lively minnow to fool the wiley crapodile wink.gif

My best this year has been a 1/16th oz Cicada. Its not a jig but it sure works like a champ. Caught lots of finiky crappies and sunnies with this thing.
My second best has been a glow devil for crappies.

You really should take a look at the Tackle City Panfish jigs. The Fat Fry are about 1/4 the price of fat boys with better hooks and definitely a better paint job.

Save money get more jigs and get better jigs.

Wow, Those jigs look nice! I never looked at the panfish and crappie jigs before now, only the Angel Eyes and Glow Devils. I was "stareing" at the paint jobs for a while....They're almost artistic! Are those things hand painted or what? If I'm correct, you get 50+ jigs for less than $20, that's a deal. Well, I think I'll tell the girlfriend that some of my Christmas shopping can be done right here. Maybe I'll hang a few on the Christmas Tree! smile.gif

One thing that has turned a lot of crappies for me. Take a glow Rat Finkee and cut the rubber/plastic collar completely off so you just have a tiny glow jig, then I bend the hook making it shorter but with a wider gap (like a Northland Fireball jig) tip with a small crappie minnow and presto. I use this setup a lot in the metro, small presentation sems to help. Had minimal success on URL with it, they wanted something bigger.

A ZEN MASTER

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
