No - just a firm believer in grubs on a jig head WHEN fishing with spinning rod. For crappie pole I use blue n white tube jibs - when fishing in brush or 'straight down'
An article in today's newspaper shows how to catch Crappie in winter time. (I still like my method better - see video :) :)
Summary of article - use a regular cigar/tube cork - regular jigs (black /chartreuse or blue/white) - 1/16oz jig - but the 'trick' is to make the rig click - which is what a shad does when scared. He does this by putting a split shot 1/4" ABOVE the tube cork - and then he does not 'reel in' but leaves cork and place and 'pops it' so the cork/split shot click
Ask 10 'regulars' around here and you'll get at least 5 different answers.
I like 1/8oz (sometimes 1/16 or 1/4) and sometimes use chartreuse for jig head and other times use unpainted jig head i.e. jig head color doesn't much matter to me - but I do prefer the chartreuse 'grub' for casting. But when I fish straight down in brush I use blue/white chartreuse/white regular jig skirts i.e. the ones in the video are for times I want the squirmin action
but them on a beetle spin and they are golden

Nice. I do the same thing with a slip bobber, but I use crappie tubes. I have caught a few so far. I'm still a noobie. I live in AR also :O!
