midwesthunter Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 What is everyone's favorite crappie jig to use with a crappie minnow? I just got done going through my ice fishing box and decided I could use a few more jigs. Also, what would be a good size to use with a crappie minnow, 6 or 8?

harvey lee Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I have used numerous jigs in the past and the Angel eyes by Scenic Tackle in the smaller sizes tipped with a minnow head seem to work well. I have also had good luck with different plastics.http://outdoorprostore.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiee Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 You can use either size 6 or 8. Custom jigs and spins ratsos and shrimpos are good choices. Lil atom stealths or optic jigs tipped with a nuggie are always good. There are just so darn many good jigs out there. Maynards flutterbugs size 8 tipped with plastic. I could go on and on.

WinterHaven Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 The Ratso and the Wedgie are my favorite crappie jigs and I don't tip them with anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan z Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 the Ratso is a new favorite in the glow white size or the ole stand by blue and white tear drop tipped with live bait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zamboni Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Ratsos, rat finkees, shrimpos are good. Kastmasters work, Rapala Ice Rap, Swedish Pimple. I think I have caught crappies on a wider range of lures than any other fish- when they get hungry, they seem to bite on anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishwater Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 My go-to is a diamond jig with a fatty tail hooked. The St. Croix crappie are meat oriented critters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quetico Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Never fail is the old 1/16 oz Swedish Pimple in silver with a minnow head. Its got enough flash to bring them in from some distance and they hit it hard if they are turn on already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobb-o Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 If i am gonna be using live bait, i will tend to use the Flat Belly jig from the guys at FIshYum, great little jig that fishes HEAVY! Also am lookig forward to trying a new one they have out htis year called the Petite Treat, seems like it will work pretty well in those livebait situtations. These jigs ahev amazing paint jobs and detail and they almost never chip or crack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neighbor_guy Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Demons... hands down my favorite for ice fishing. I like the hook size on them, and they get the job done. When it comes to a crappie minnow the glow demon with a pink head is the only way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deitz Dittrich Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 For me it really depends on how active the fish are... I always have a good suply of diamond jigs on hand. I also like outdoor prostore moon glow. Go devils are awesome as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anyfishaldo Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 My favorites are the 1/16th spoons and the glo demons both tipped with a minnow head. This year I am hoping to find my favorite jumbo perch lure as I have yet to have any luck but also have limited time in on Mille Lacs.
