What kind of crappie fishing lures should you use? A variety of crappie jigs, spinners, spoons and plastic worms are available.
By far the most widely used crappie fishing lure is the crappie jig, with marabou and twisty jigs the most popular. The jigs have hair, tinsel or feather crafting and are attached to a painted or unpainted jighead. One angler likes using white jigs, but also uses chartreuse in clear water and darker colors in muddy water.

Other popular crappie fishing lures include spinners and crankbaits. Small single blade spinners with small jigs work best and crankbaits work well when the crappie are running deep. A two inch minnow or shap rap works well with a deep running lip.
Soft plastic crappie fishing lures are extremely popular. Grubs and worm lures work best. If you like worm lures, the best one to try is the Walking Worm from www.scientificfishing.com. The company that specializes in scientifically designed lures offer a lure based on aeronautical flutter technology that curls the tail continuously like a live worm. Other worm lures only move on retrieval but the Walking Worm constantly moves, so it's the best lure to use to attract hungry crappie.
The Walking Worm beat a crankbait and another worm lure in a Florida best because the crankbait didn't resemble a worm and the worm lure stopped moving when it hit the bottom. The Walking Worm doesn't stop moving until the crappie bites it and that's when you reel it in.
