Ned Rig TRD
Color: Green Pumpkin · Size: 2.75 inch
Cast near weed edges and sandmud transitions, use a slow drag with occasional 2–3 inch hops along the bottom.
Ned Rig's finesse presentation and subtle action excel in stained water and high-pressure conditions where crappie are cautious.
#2
Senko
Color: Green Pumpkin · Size: 3 inch
Rig through the middle and cast into weed pockets; let it fall on semi-slack line with minimal movement.
Natural vertical fall and lifelike profile trigger reaction strikes from suspended crappie in overcast, weedy shallows.
#3
Rapala Original Floater

Light twitch-pause cadence around weed edges and shallow structure, keeping it in the top 3 feet.
