We’d fill a 5-gallon bucket with slab crappie in less than an hour! We used 1/8oz plastic red/white, yellow/white and green/white jigs. We also used crappie tongue’s they would float like a butterfly under water when you jig them up and down and the crappie loved them. They don’t fall off your hook, try them sometime.
