Plastics seem to be coming more and more popular for crappie, what are your favorites?

Little atom nuggies! I have been using the medium and small. For whatever the reason the medium have been out fishing the smalls.

Gulp Minnow Fry has worked better for me than the previous Berkley offerings

What kind jig head do you run with these? Thanks guys!

I like ratso tails and wedgees, both from custom jigs and spins. My hottest setup lately has been a 3mm white wolfram with a glow wedgee threaded on the hook.

I did really well with a Bro's Blood worm tail on a gold Ratso head last outing. My other favorite is an orange head with an Orange Sherbert tail by CJ+spins; both were sz. 8. I would mention not to get too hung up on any one combination, as what's hot can change day to day, lake to lake, etc.

KJB Tri-Tail and Hummer, Scud Bugs, Whips and sometimes Wedgees

Now the problem is, I have trouble locating these on the web.

I like the "gulp" minnow heads

Handy · « **Reply #10 on:** Feb 03, 2012, 09:29 AM »

Chasepalosaari, I have been using the genz worm the most but put the nuggie tails on just about any thing. And so far the color doing the best this year is glow red.

Wedges from Custom Jigs & Spins. I like red and glow. They are easy to trim to the length you want.

eriksat1 · « **Reply #12 on:** Feb 15, 2012, 02:32 PM »

Do you guys put the whole thing on with the nuggies or pinch off the tail and just put that on?

UFCreel · « **Reply #13 on:** Oct 14, 2012, 07:00 AM »

Whips

I actually use the whole nuggie... but I tend to have the most luck with the glow micro nuggie.

Depends on the plastic. Check out this write up on "rigging plastics"

Go with some Nuggies... Buy them early cause (atleast around here) they sell out fast... Go with the regular size not the small ones.. Red seems to be the go to color but all of them get bites... Plenty of experience pulling 14" slabs in the piles full. I found my best success on the big head jigs purple in color

icejunky · « **Reply #20 on:** Nov 14, 2012, 11:36 AM »

Gulp waxies or maki plastics are good choices, the Northland Bro bug is awesome for crappies

mjmeyer · « **Reply #21 on:** Nov 16, 2012, 07:23 PM »

I know there's a lot of name-brand plastics out there and my tackle bag has its share. But these work! Children's "koosh" toy. Possibly a hundred lively little plastics for a buck. Pluck one off and add it to your jig. I bought one of each color. Total investment $4. Used the green, yellow and pink today. I caught and released about 50 crappies using my ice jigging rods

These are my go to plastics. Simply deadly on gills!

here they are on 1/100 oz with #12 sickle

They look awesome!

captain54 · « **Reply #26 on:** Dec 07, 2012, 08:27 AM »

I use a lot of different ones and yes even the squishy toys,but my favorite are CJS Finesse tails. If I only could choose one tail one color,it would be a Ratso's in chartreuse color.

Van_Cleaver · « **Reply #27 on:** Dec 07, 2012, 07:33 PM »

I like the same as capt. 54, but in Orange Sherbert. Also Bro's Bloodworm, and others. Usually it's more a location/presentation thing. When you find numbers of feeding fish almost any lure can become your favorite.

He made them using a mold from bearsbaits I believe.

Custom Jigs & spins in black for me... but where can I find the #12 jig w/ sickle hook? Plain or painted.
