Crappie nibbles

[ADDICTED2HUNTIN]

How many of you use crappie nibbles? I have never used them but I keep seeing where others use them. Usually when I troll I will tip my jigs with minnows some times. When I shoot docks I don’t use anything. Would it be worth tipping my jog with a nibble when I shoot docks just to give it a little “flash” and smell? What are your thoughts?

My dad sure believes in them , if he’s fishing with minnows he almost always has one on . Not so much with jigs though . If I was curious I’d give it a try and see what I thought . Me personally , I never use them

We use them. As we are shooting docks will just dangle a pole over with one on a jig and will pick a few up that way.

Ive tried crappie nibbles in the past but didn't see much difference using em or not. Saw a video on Youtube, guy in Texas using crappie nibbles and doing good. But he had a friend turn him onto a different version of the nibbles. Been wanting to try them.

Here is a link to those baits.

They were the rage about 15-18 years ago. Bought four jars. Tried them at least 50 times. Never got the first bite on one.s

I have never messed with them. It seems some folks have luck with them though. Go with whatever gives you confidence.

I have had some luck with them, mainly in muddy water. I keep a couple of jars in da boat, but it isn't some magic speck catchin bait.

Tipping a jig with a minnow is more effective.

That's the way Dad taught me to fish for them... "doll fly" with a minnow under a pin float.

 

[NCHillbilly]

Never used them. We never have much trouble catching them on plain old jigs.

IMO, they work better for trout than crappie.

I’ve got some on the boat but no improvement seen. I have noticed a marked improvement with Slab Sauce. I also catch more catfish while long linning for crappie using the Sauce.

 

[trial&error]

Don't spill them on the boat. They go everywhere.

Thats the truth.
Slab sauce is just another snake oil.

Slab sauce is just another snake oil.

Agreed, but you dare not say that on a certain website.

Yeah I hang out over there from time to time.

The closer to the May catfish spawn, I catch a lot more catfish long linning using the sauce. So many that I stopped using it on my jigs during May/ June.

 

[trad bow]

Dutch how’s the shoulder progressing?

 

[Worley]

I use em - I think I’ve heard they work well for luring em into the hot grease.

If they give you confidence, then use them. everthing helps!

No crappie nibbles were injured during this fishing trip! I eye balled some at BPS Saturday but didn’t bite. I don’t know if I would have done any better or worse without them.
