Ready for some random crappie tips today? Great…these all work well…
1. Clip one of the minnow’s fins, and then hook him in the rear end. The minnow will put up more of a struggle to keep himself upright, and will create more action from the crappie. This will NOT shorten his life if you do it right.
2. Take 2 pieces of christmas tinsel. (Experiment with colors…I alway use silver…) Tie them about 6″ above the minnow. Boy does this additional flash make a difference. Try using a multi hook setup, and tie some on above each bait offering. I know guys who do this on 4 or 5 depth levels on the same line with awesome results.
Enjoy…

They are a good idea, but you get the same thing at any tackle store with a fluke, numerous colors and sizes. add flash with a bait color pen. Its much cheaper

i am interested but i noticed when you describe an idea, like the Christmas tinsels for creating flash, it would be great to see an example.. some of us are more visual than text comprehension. please forgive my style of learning.

The old trick of minnows in a jar is one I or we have used for many years wile on Lake Shasta fishing off of a large houseboat. This really works great but we used a much larger pickled pigs feet jar, suspended off rear of houseboat or dock at night with a flood light looking down in are where captured bait is, turn off flood light and bait up with live minnows or jig if heavy concentration of fish. Fill your bucket or limit out!! Works decent while parked in cove in daylight too
