   Maybe I am just not good enough with them yet but the only time i can really get on a rll with a jig is in the spring when they are agressive. It's a small twister tail grub or tube bait. My vote has got to go to the minnow. Maybe it's just me. wayner

   My vote is with the minnow. Sometimes jigs are better. Sometimes one color jig is better than another color, but if you put a minnow in front of a crappie, it will bite.

   jigs,any color as long as its white.Wife uses minnows tho,but when your in them jigs are faster and I feel catch more. Any kind as long as the body is white,head colors are another story tho.

   Jigs in the fall and winter, minnows in the spring and summer. They will all catch fish, it's just that certain times of the year they like some better than others.

   i like to minnow fish but i think that a jig is quicker when fish are biting good. my favorite jig is a tube jig on a tube head in electric blue, they cant resist it in clear or dingy water. i also prefer minnows in winter and sometimes in summer good luck, riverat

    Worms and a bobber is my favorite bait. When you find the fish they all fight over the small piece of nitecrawler

    The best bait for crappie fishing has to be a little bright green spinner bait.

    I haven't very good luck with minnows. My husband and I use jigs and tubes. He does well with orange and yellow tubes. I haven't notice any particular color that works for me.

    I think the best bait is a minnow. But I have heard that small goldfish work best. I have not tried them yet.

    I found that while minnows work well all the time, that crappie love wax worms. I went fishing the past weekend with a box full of wax worms, and ther results were great. Wax worms not only work well for crappie but catfish and brim love them as well.

    I am finding that wax worms are very effective at catching crappies up here in North East PA. The crappies have been hitting them well right before sunset.

    Crappies are aggressive fish and it would bite on any live fish. Minnow are great to fish with, but catching a fish and kill another is not really the way to fish. I think the best lure to use all year long in New Jersey and many state that i fish is a 1 3/4 inches fin-s alewife color. I have fish wish it about 300 days last year and it is a great lure to fish with a bopper.
