what is your best crappie rig?

[love2fish93]

I usualy just use minnows on a teardrop or bare single but lately that hasnt been working. I know the fish are there but they wont bite anything. any ideas?

[deep6in]

I would try a glow mini tear drop with a single spike.

The bite's been a little tougher than usual this year it seems...my best rig this season has been a 4mm fiskas glow wolfram tear w/ a spike.

Has anybody tried putting garlic powder on their spikes 24hrs before you use them? I heard that on some tv show. Haven't tried it but the way the bites going it can't hurt.:idea:

[redear]

try a silver gillpill with a red bead and a mousee you cant go wrong with that

[Radar420]

Try a glow jig that hangs horizontally.

glow Hali sukula tipped with a minnow or worm
25mm or 35mm.

I see other manf have taken a like to the chains as well. Cuz they work. ;)

I've been doing pretty well on them lately. They require a bit of work though. Orange, pink, and green have been the best colors before night. The smaller the better.

I jig aggressivly to get their attention. Once I see them on my sonar, I've been teasing them a little bit at a time to get them off the bottom. I shake, reel a little, and shake some more. Once they get about 2-3 feet above the bottom, they bite.

Been using waxies mostly, but small minnows on a glow jig after dark. You gotta mess with them right now, get em pissed enough to bite.

I read - a small red treble hook tipped with a minnow - tied off on a 14" leader with a number 7 splitshot. The past 5 outings using this rig has produced many a papermouth.
But, he forgot to tell us what line is his leader?? :confused:
and where is his honeyhole? ;)
