The Crappie Bug is a tiny creature bait with wiggling legs and a soft, buoyant body that hovers naturally on a light jig. Crappie, bluegill, and perch all fall for its subtle, buggy action under docks and around brush piles. It's a go-to ice fishing bait too — jig it through the ice around brush and cribs for slab panfish all winter.
