Awesome Colors--nothing better for slow trolling Crappie!
Great middle-range crankbait for bass, but probably best known as the standard for slow-trolling crappie. Midway has all the good colors. If you are just starting out, get some in pink, some in chartreuse, some in shad (or chrome), and some in dark colors (even black). You'll be surprised how often one color works better than others, and how often that changes through the day. I troll with 4-6 rods, so I try to have enough of my favorite colors that I can cover all rods with the hot one. Use sz 1 or similar fast snaps to make color changes easier.- NH, 6/12/2020 Shop Now
