What is everyone's favorite crappie plastics? I personally like the berkely power minnows, road runners, tubes, and of course, the curly tail.

This is a tough question...

I like using the new Mister Twister 2" Mister Mino. It's a hollow tube-style bait that has some wicked action. Crappies love it right now! Going to be an awesome ice fishing plastic too. The Mister Twister Micro Shad is another go-to of mine. Smaller in profile, but works great on both gills and crappies.

I also like the 2" Berkley Power Minnow and 1" tubes (if you can find any left somewhere). The 2.5" Gulp minnows are a weapon of mine too. The pearl are my favroite.

Also look to the Culprit paddle tail and the Kalin double paddle tail, both work well...

I like those little salty tiny tubes, in white with red flake. But last weekend it seemed to be a green/chart curly tail that did the trick.

Mud Puppie on a 32nd oz jig. White or black glitter are my best colors.

2" Berkley Power Minnow


I've looked in all the major sporting goods stores for these and haven't seen a single package in the 2 years I've been looking.

Does a person have to order this direct on-line to get them? confused

Try Dicks sporting Goods. They seem to have them pretty often.
