Quick take

A crappie kit with 2-inch minnow bodies and 3D big-eye jig heads, ready to fish for crappie and panfish.

This 20-piece kit combines soft plastic minnow baits with Big Eye jig heads for fishing crappie and panfish. The bodies are small and slim with a thin tail that flutters as the bait moves. A flat lure pack keeps everything together, which makes it an easy add to a panfish tackle box.

Best for

  • Crappie under floats or on jig heads
  • Panfish in ponds and small lakes
  • Anglers targeting schooling crappie

Skip if

  • You need larger baits for bass
  • You prefer pre-rigged tackle

Strengths

  • Big eye jig heads attract crappie strikes
  • Fluke-like body imitates live minnows
  • Kit includes everything to get started

Trade-offs

  • Small size is not suitable for pike or bass
  • Soft plastics wear quickly on rough bottoms

About this type

A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.

Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.

Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
