hey guys,
I was wondering how many of you guys use marmooska's for crappie? Also whats your favorite color and size? and is there anything I should do to prep for using them? because i heard the crappies will just suck them in and spit them out before i even know what happened, so i was thinking of a very fine spring bobber, or maybe even tightlining? Thanks

Evan, I use a # 12 and a # 14 Marmooska for my go to bait for crappies. The chartreuse, green, with white tip or chartreuse, orange, with white tip are the ones I use most. I do open the hook a bit but you will get great hook ups without this. I normally put three spikes or a single wax worm on them for bait. This year I have been playing with micro plastics and having good luck. I tight line the baits and watch the vex. for any sign the crappies are moving through at a different depth.

Hey Pop,
When using plastics how do you put them on the hook? Do you worm them on like earthworms and leave a little bit of the tale to wiggle or do you go across the plastic the first time and back? Also how much of the plastic do you use? I don't seem to get the action I want. Maybe I am using too much of it. Thanks!

I use the System Tackle plastics. I don't recall the name, they are small thin strips that I break off the last 3/4 " and hook it just once near the thick end. I like the red and the chartreuse. I have also used a sliver of plastic cut from the tail of a Mr. Twister. It is about 1/8 " by 1/2 " and pointed on one end. I have always used red for these. If you want something different, take an old chamois and cut a strip about the same size and put it on the marmooska. The longer you use it the softer it gets. I hook everything the same, just once near the end and let it trail out behind the bait.

walliceman, my rigs are the same as Pops. #12 or#14 moosksas char-white glow or orange-white glow, except i use 1 or 2 spikes and never go heavier than 1&1/2lb. mono line. I use 12'' or 15'' noodle rods,with spring bobbers.

Thanks Pop! I will give'r a try. Just as I suspected, I have been using too long of a piece of plastic. I'm gonna try the chamois idea as well.
All the best
