Crappie dont play fair

Live minnows and jigs of all sorts are still the best for chasing that crappie. If you are a die-hard fan of using small spinner baits for crappie, if properly presented, you will not only catch crappie, but other fish as well to make your fishing adventure more enjoyable.

If you are successful in with you are doing, stay with it. However, it is fun to experiment to add to your arsenal.

There are times the crappie doesn't play fair and all the rules of being still, not splashing, the crappie will attack spinner baits in all sorts of environments from bank fishing to pier and the boat. Spinner baits seem to trigger their hunger or protecting their nest.

Spinners create a sound of waves that they feel, then out of the corner of their eye they see the flashy lure...WOW, I'm going to get that! That's what spinners will do, trigger their instincts. Spin casting with spinners allows you to cover a larger radius of water in short period of time. Spinners tend to be heavier than jigs and will let you cast farther as opposed to jigging or whatever.

There is all kind of spinners from Safety-Pin Spinners to Horse Head Spinners.

Experiment, that's what it's all about. One thing is for sure, if your methods of attack don't catch crappie, the manufacturers caught us.

When was the last time you took someone fishing from family, friends or the neighbor kid down the street?
