How To Rig Crappie Minnows
You want the crappie to think your live bait presentation is a wounded minnow and a easy meal, so it is important that your crappie live bait set up is done correctly. It is also just as important to hook your crappie minnow correctly. The Minnow needs to be hooked so it swims freely while attached to the hook. Remember, you are trying to imitate a wounded minnow so a crappie will think it is an easy meal. I am going to show you how to make a crappie minnow rig that has proven successful for me. And don’t forget to read the last paragraph because I don’t want you to miss out on a rarely used crappie minnow jigging technique.
How To Make A Dual Crappie Minnow Rig Using Three Way Swivels
If you are not into making your own tackle, or just don’t have the time, these setups can be purchased pre-made at most bait shops, or online at Bass Pro shop or Cabella’s.
Step#1 You will need to have some 8-20lb fire line. For comparison, the dia. of the 20lb test is the same as 6lb mono-filament line.
Step#2 Get yourself some 3 way swivels. The three way swivel allows the crappie minnow to swim freely in a 360deg motion.
Step#3 Get some 1/4oz egg or as they are commonly called “bass sinkers”.
Step#4 Cut 2 pieces of fire line approximately 10” long, tie a crappie hook on one end of each line.
Step#5 Repeat Step 4, but cut 2 pieces 12” long.
Step#6 Release enough line from your reel so you have plenty of room to do your crappie live bait tackle tying. Tie your first three way swivel to the line.
Step#7 You now need to tie one of the 10” crappie hook leaders to the open eyelet that is 90degrees from the top eyelet of the three way swivel you just tied in step 6. If you do this correctly, there should be one open eyelet left, and it should be located directly below the eyelet tied to the line coming out of your fishing reel.
Step#8 Tie one of the 12” pieces of fire line to the open eyelet of the first 3 way swivel. Then tie the other end to your second three way swivel. Make sure after you tie both ends that you have approximately 6” between the bottom eyelet of the first three way swivel and the top of the second 3 way swivel.
Step#9 Tie one of crappie hook leaders you made in step 4 to the open eye on the 3 way swivel that is 90 degrees clockwise. There should be one open eyelet when you get done, that is pointing strait downward.
Step#10 Tie one of the 12” pieces of fire line to the open eyelet of the second 3 way swivel. Then tie the other end to your 1/4oz bass sinker. Make sure after you tie both ends that you have approximately 6” between the bottom eyelet of the second three way swivel and the 1/4oz. bass sinker.
Step#11Remember we want your crappie live bait rig to look like wounded crappie fishing minnows swimming around in circles, so to complete your setup you need to hook your minnows either in the back or front of the dorsal fin on both crappie hooks.
Here’s Your rarely used crappie jigging technique.
Kill one of your crappie minnows and hook it in the left or right gill. Drop your line and start jigging the minnow. This will make your minnow appear to be wounded as it flutters down in the water.
Well folks that concludes this article I hope this will help you when you are using crappie live bait.
