I like the forage fry jig, but I don't find the hook up ratio to be as good as the forage minnow.  It's better to get a bite than only get sniffers.

I have been using a 1/16th oz slender spoon with good results pretty much the same type thing as the forage minnow. I tip the hook with a spike on each treble.

Usually the smaller one, but if it's big crappies then the larger one.

Usually a crappie minnow or a waxie.  Sometimes a fathead for big crappies.
