Last fall I came across a crappie bite that was outstanding while using some real small crankbaits done in the shown color pattern. I call it my mini sunnie color. Northerns sure enjoyed a mess of these hence the need to make more.
These in the picture have the blue to purple color shifting pigment in the top coat. Tomorrow I'll be doing the purple on purple top coat and the pumpkin green back and bars with green to gold color shift top coat.
Sitting in the sun drying I couldn't help myself and got the picture. Man I love these little fellas for crappie. These are weighted to sink....just cast and allow to drop 4-6 seconds then retrieve at a moderate rate. And hold on. Crappies really blast these guys. These baits are only .75" in length, the second smallest I make. For size reference, the wires they hang from are standard paper clips nipped so that the wire has a hook at both ends.
