    Been using the crappie magnet for several years now, I always keep Mermaid, salt and pepper, black and chartreuse, red and chartreuse, and a few others when they get picky on Bobby Garlands I switch to crappie magnet and back and forth. Loving the crappie videos, thanks again.

    Man I came across your channel a few weeks ago and have enjoyed all the videos you have put up. I live up in North West Ga and mainly bass fish but after watching all these crappie videos i had to go catch a mess of them at Chickamauga today. I’m subscribed to a lot of fishing channels but I’ll have to say this one is my favorite I look forward to more videos.

    Hey Brandon, I have used Crappie Magnet for some time now and love them. I have found that the split tail works best under a slip float with the nibble pushed to split the tail apart, The shad bait works best for me when I am tight lining. Love the crappie shows you are doing. Go get em

    I tend to use Powerbait Crappie nibbles but to keep more in my jar and catch more fish using the same piece, simply pour out the entire jar onto an aluminum pie pan and either place outside to air dry or I prefer placing on top of my refrigerator since it puts off heat above. When they are hard to the touch (not bricks) then you'll have a nibble that'll stay on hook longer and thus catch more fish and keep you out the store purchasing more as often.

    I’m blessed to be the Director of Pro Staff and Advertising for Crappie Magnet so I’m a bit biased but Crappie Magnets truly are remarkable baits. My dad and I have been blessed to have some success on the Crappie USA tournament trail over the years and we use CM baits exclusively. They produce all over the country in a variety of conditions. And we ALWAYS tip them with Slab Bites. They can’t hurt! Best of luck to you on the Elite Series. I keep track of all the tourneys and pull for you and Jason Christie all the time! Great review on the products too.

Put the nibbles, between were the tail spits , stay on longer and put a little super glue on the hook then put on the crappie magnet. FYI.

    Also I use the powerbait brand nibbles. When the bite is kinda slow it most definitely help. What you can do to make them last a little longer, on a sunny day put a few out on
    Piece of paper and let it dry out for a while and once it does it’ll stay on your hook much longer

    We have used them many times on a drop shot rig. Just downsize your hook to a #4 circle or #6 aberdeen and the crappie magnets work great. Especially once you find that sweet spot depth this puts it right in the zone every time. Surprisingly we also caught perch, bream and bass with this method/bait.

      Sometimes you have to learn how to outsmart other fishermen, as well as the fish 😉. I’m fortunate that I get to do a lot of my crappie fishing during the week in the fall and winter when there aren’t a lot of boats on the water, but these crappie get plenty of pressure overall. Fishing pressure forces us to become better anglers. Thanks for watching!

    It is only cold when one has to cut through 9' of ice. Cold is when you drive your 4 wheeler around the lake. The air temp has nothing on the fish as they are rarely on the surface. My complaint is the state allows crappie to be 8' and bass have to be 15'. Split the difference and make both 12" before they can go to the frying pan.

    • @BrandonLesterFishing
      @BrandonLesterFishing  2 роки тому

      Cold is relative to where you are I guess. In TN our lakes don't freeze over normally and 40 degrees is pretty chilly. Crappie have to be 10" here also. State law. Thanks for watching!

      Mostly water clarity and whether its sunny or cloudy. Clear water and bluebird skies I like to use as natural as possible. Cloudy days you can get them on brighter colors better sometimes. More times than not though, presentation is twice as important as color is. Thanks for watching!

      @@BrandonLesterFishing I lean towards the same setups. I fish 90% of the time with Slider grubs, but I like to change up others as well.
