My 'ol fishin buddy (my FIL) use to crappie fish on a daily basis(he lived on the lake). His favorite colors, as far as crappie plastics goes, are: chart w/black flake, chart, w/red flake, chart w/silver flake and solid black. All of these may seem all to common, But he wore them out on them.
Break out the grease and meal, and the slaw fixins!
