Here in Nebraska, I like a horizontal jig with a pink, white, black or blue plastic, usually pink or white will produce. A grub body with a thin tail is my go to for years, lotsa confidence. A wedge plastic on a vertical spoon is a nice change up. In community areas I like a small tungsten #14 or #16 hook with a wedgee or spikee type tail. Tell the truth crappie are not usually that negative in our shallow lakes in SE Nebraska and can probably catch them on traditional crappie tubes too, but the smaller ice type baits ring up the gills better and still catch crappie too.
