    Always had good luck with yellow marabou muddlers (weighted). Al Campbell's Crappie Candy is supposed to be a good one, too:

    I made up what I called a chrome bugger, basic bugger design, underbody of holographic or silver tinsel material, white marabou tail, white or grizzly hackle.

    Stick a size 10 pink squirrel under a foam stick-on indicator. Kind of jig it back to you on the retrieve.

    Marabou jigs or buggers tied in jigheads in combinations of white, yellow, chartreuse and gray. 1/64 oz probably the best size. Fish under an indicator.

    Every fly I tie is a crappy fly

    I'm partial to my "Mata-Crappie" fly. It's actually a great pattern. Here's a little video we did a few years ago...



    And a tutorial on how to tie it...

    Microjigs under an indicator:




    Although they look small, 1/80th oz and 1/100th oz microjigs will catch crappies of all sizes, including the bigger ones. In my area, a 12" Crappie is a really good fish. This past year was a very good year, and I used microjigs to catch at least 4 Crappies that measured from 13"-14.5".

    I'm with Ray up above - but they catch fish. Can't wait to try these in the spring.

    I love the video Curtis. I'm beginning to think all my fly tying books, well some, may be obsolete! I get so much more from watching the videos. My only suggestion, but I'm not good at this video thing, have the camera on the other side, I would like to see all the steps better.
    Thanks!
