crappie fishing w squirmin grub

A couple things not clear in video - 'my lake' is shallow and this is how I fish when using a spinning rod n reel. Also I set the cork depth about 1 ft deep since I'm fishing in 2-3 ft water - usually from bank or my fishing pier. When I fish in channel from boat - I use regular jig skirts like the blue and white ones in the box - plus - I fish straight down - tight line / no cork e.g. this video is how I fish around my brush pile in front of my house

Not saying the jig head / squirmin grub will work as well in deep lakes or from a boat - but sure works well at Lake Conway in Arkansas IMHO

DO you know how to make rubberband jigs?

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

O yea those work i used those curl tail grubs in a local river and catch plenty of crappie

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!
