The Amazing Crappie Fishing Artificial Baits! Crappie Fishing Secrets #2

Old School Crappie Fishing Family Secrets

Crappie Slamin' Artificial Baits

 

If you love to fish for crappie and want to catch more crappie and be more consistent, then you need to learn how to fish artificial baits for crappie. When you only fish live bait such as minnows for crappie you are limiting yourself to only one of the food sources crappie tend to eat on a daily and seasonal basis. If you learn to imitate the crappie's natural food sources using crappie artificial baits you will be a more consistent crappie fisherman, and your average catch will increase drastically. Crappie may be hitting on a variety of different food sources on any given day. If you select the correct artificial bait for that day or a certain seasonal situation you are going to catch fish, and if the crappie are hitting heavy you will catch allot of fish.

 

You should have a variety of different crappie fishing artificial baits in your tackle box, remember you are trying to imitate the crappie's food source the day you go fishing.Please feel free to use our suggested list of crappie bait selections. Half the battle of selecting artificial baits is knowing what to buy.

 

#1 You can purchase your crappie fishing jigs on line,at large department stores or at your local bait shop. You may pay a bit more at the local bait shop but you can also get great local tips of what crappie artificial have been working best. One key factor when you look for crappie fishing jigs at any of the locations is to select jigs in the weight sizes of 1/32oz to 1/8oz.I personally use jigs in the 1/32 to 1/8 once size.Crappie fishing jigs have most of their weight concentrated in the jig head. Also, jigs are packaged and marked with there weights and sometimes the hook size.

 

#2 Like I emphasized above you are imitating the crappie's food source so being flexible means you need to have an assortment of crappie fishing jigs included in your list of crappie artificial baits. So your first jig to look for that is 1/16 to 1/8 ounce is called the curly tail crappie jig.The curly tail is made from plastic. To see what a curly tail jig looks like do a google search "curly tail jig" you will find plenty of pictures for reference. The curly tail jig is very inexpensive and is one of the most commonly used crappie fishing jigs.

 

#3 You should have some "marabou jigs" in your tackle box also.The marabou jig comes in a variety of colors. You will notice that the jig head of the marabou crappie jig is similar to the curly tail jig. The marabou jig has hair like material for the body and tail instead of plastic. Again, to see a picture of this jig just do a google search.

 

#4 You should have some "weedless spinner baits" in your tackle box.The weedless spinner bait has a blade at the top , then a wire formed at an angle attaches to a fishing jig. Well guess what? The jig attached is normally a "curly tail jig" or a marabou jig", so the only real difference is the blade and wire attached. Again, do a google search using "weedless spinner baits" to see a picture of the crappie artificial bait.

 

#5 You should have an assortment of "willow leaf blades" the blades should be colored Colorado or gold. willow leaf blades are again, either a curly tail jig or marabou jig with a willow leaf blade attached. Again do a google search to see a picture of this artificial bait.
