avidone1 Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 I guess pretty much any lake that holds bass will hold crappie and vice versa finesse bass fishing seems all the rage these days, so I can't help but wonder how many crappie are scoffing up the little jigs like the ned rig. I'll bet a lot 1 Quote
IndianaFinesse Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 I have caught a few crappie on the Ned rig, but not that many. But I have caught a lot of big crappie on a small pointer while bass fishing, and my pb crappie was caught on a 110 size pointer. 1 Quote

Super User gardnerjigman Posted April 13, 2016 Super User Posted April 13, 2016 Catch crappie on all sorts of bass lures all the time, ned included. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted April 13, 2016 Global Moderator Posted April 13, 2016 Crappie can be really aggressive when they're in the right mood. I had 21 keeper crappie fishing for bass one day with jerkbaits and a popper believe it or not. Big crappie love a jerkbait hanging in their face. Ned rigs and Keitechs catch a lot of my summer time and fall crappie. Bladed jigs have accounted for my biggest crappie of the year the last few years in a row, along with some big ones on spinnerbaits. I saw a picture on FB a day or two ago with a guy that had caught a crappie on a 6" Hudd. It's not always the big ones that do it either, that's a 6XD that little fella whacked. 1/2oz brush jig. A little more towards the original question, these 14.5" bookends both ate a 3" power minnow I was swimming on a light jighead. 2 Quote
MDBowHunter Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 I will agree that they love a vision 110, I've caught a lot of nice ones on them. Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted April 13, 2016 Super User Posted April 13, 2016 I have never caught a crappie on a ned rig. I have caught them on just about everything else though. Quote

Kevin22 Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 Crappie and bass are not all that different. A crappie will try to eat anything it can fit in its mouth. When the crappie go shallow to spawn they will hit any moving bait you throw for bass. I catch a lot of them on square bills, spinnerbaits, and chatterbaits. Quote
