Crappies on the Move - Baits to Cover Water and Locate Roaming Schools
Covering water can be the name of the game when pre-spawn crappies are on the move. Using a moving bait helps locate schools and stay on them as they pass through, especially without electronics. Fan casting from shore, or a boat, is super effective and there's nothing quite like that thump of a crappie choking down a lure.
Our Top 3 Baits for Roaming Crappies
#1 Eurotackle Finesse B-Vibe -

Since its release, the 2" B-Vibe has been an absolute killer on our local lakes. The subtle wiggle and shimmy is an action crappies, and many other fish, just can't resist. Don't leave home without Chartreuse, White, and Hi-Vis. We pair them with a Eurotackle Soft-Lock Jighead for best results. The tungsten head gets down fast while maintaining a smaller profile.

Designed by Youtuber Extreme Philly Fishing , the 1" small profile excels when fish are being tight lipped or keyed in on smaller bait. White, Chartreuse, and Pink are must have colors. Pink can be an exceptionally effective color in dirty water, particularly in the early part of the season.
The Underspin design and curly tail grub give the Thumper King a lot of action and helps attract bites. Our favorite colors are Silver Shiner and Sunfish. The Silver Shiner grub, and silver blade, mimic the shad in Hammond and Tioga very well.
