Old School Crappie Fishing Family Secrets

 

There are just thousands of ways to rig your fishing lines for crappie and no one way works all the time. You will find 8 crappie fishing tips below that we feel will work for just about any crappie rigging situation you will face.Our tips include many excellent rigging tips using artificial crappie jigs, and crappie minnows which are called “Missouri minnows” in many parts of the country.

TIP#1 Use a “spin cast” reel fishing with a light weight graphite rod with 6-12# test line. (this is a bit more then most guys use.. but it works.

Tip#2 Purchase some “Cajun Red 6 -12lb test line for your crappie fishing rig.(you can get away with the 6-12# test line because this crappie fishing rigged line is almost invisible to crappie in the water.

TIP#3 Get some “Missouri minnows”, or the smallest minnows you can at the bait shop. You probably won’t catch as many crappie but if you have the wife and kids along it makes for a wonderful family outing.

Tip#4 Use weights up to 1/4ounce.

TIP#5 Use crappie fishing jigs.

Tip#5a use plastic crappie fishing jig parts commonly referred to as “tubes” in the color of green, yellow and white

Tip#5b Use the smallest artificial minnow jigs you can find, with black tops and silver belly. The tale should move and get a lot of action in the water.

Tip#5c Use a Hair wrapped jig (these jigs are hard to fine)

Tip#5d Use jigs with a black body and yellow tail with a yellow head and black eyes.

Tip#6 As a rule of thumb, crappie can see better when the water temperature drops. When this happens you need to change your crappie fishing rig by changing the line to 4lb test.

Tip#7 Find yourself slip bobbers that have a small “stick” to set your depth.The bobbers or “corks” are made from Styrofoam and every bait store sells them. Run the line from your crappie catching rig through the hole in the bobber until you get to the selected depth you want. You can also use spring loaded boobers where the line slides through the spring , then you lock it in place at your selected depth.

Tip#8 Instead of using just one jig or hook on a line tie in 2 or three jigs about 10inches apart. You can place a weight below the jigs, but if that doesn’t work put the weight above the jigs.

Well we hope these great crappie catching rigs make your next crappie fishing trip a success! Good Luck!
