Best Places to Use a Crappie Jig

Crappie jigs are awesome!  You can catch crappie, bass, and even catfish with them.  The key is to know where to use them.

Crappie jigs are best used in deep water around structure.  There are three main types of structure that fit the bill:  docks, bridges, and dams.

A set of docs in close proximity, such as the one pictured below, is ideal.

Here's the proof.

When it comes to bridges, nothing is more ideal than a pedestrian bridge such as the one pictured below.

Last but not least, there's the dam.  Some dams on smaller lakes, such as the one below, can simply be walked as you jig.

Yes, that's a catfish that hit a crappie jig.  I also caught a bass and a crappie with the same lure!

So keep a crappie jig tied on one of your poles.  When you see a doc, a bridge, or a dam, hit it up!
