BEST CRAPPIE BAITS
THE BEST CRAPPIE BAITS AREN'T NECESSARILY
LIVE MINNOWS
By Ken Liebeskind

Many anglers think the best crappie bait is live minnows, with fathead minnows preferred. When it comes to live bait, some crappie anglers also use live worms and maggots. But many anglers think the best crappie bait is an artificial lure, because they are much easier to use (you don't have to keep them alive!) and they come in a wide variety of styles for all kinds of water and fishing conditions.
The best crappie baits for anglers using lures include marabou and twister tail jigs, spinners and curly tail grubs. Mairbou jigs have furry bodies and puffy tails, are very durable and come in many sizes and colors. Twister tails are rigged on a small jig head for great underwater action and are often scented to attract crappie.
Fishermen know that crappie love worms more than even the best crappie baits

Smaller spinners with gold blades are one of the best crappie baits, according to one angler. Curly tail grubs are the soft plastic bait with the curly tail that produces lots of action when jigged or retrieved steadily.
The most popular soft plastic baits are worm lures, and one of the best crappie bait lures is the Walking Worm from www.scientificfishing.com. The company renowned for its scientifically designed lures utilizes aeronautical flutter technology between tail segments of the Walking Worm to make it curl like a live worm. The constant movement generates a predatory response from crappie that think it's a live worm and strike.
The Walking Worm beat a crankbait and another worm lure in a Florida test. Fish avoided the crankbait because it wasn't a worm and the worm lure because it stopped moving when it hit bottom. They struck at the Walking Worm because it moved continuously like a live worm.
When you fish with the Walking Worm, it's like you're using live bait, which makes it the best lure for crappie anglers.
