My FIRST TIME Using The CRAPPIE MAGNET!//WINTER CRAPPIE FISHING!

[@JimCowart-o2l]

I love the pink or yellow head with the sho nuff color and then dipping the tail in the yellow garlic. I also put a pink and yellow crappie nibble on the hook and I absolutely slay them!

[@twinstone7509]

I almost always tip my plastics with a crappie nibble, works like a charm every time. Keep those crappie videos coming.

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

They definitely work! Thanks for watching!

[@eugeneburton6878]

Same here.Never fish without them.

[@barrygraham7510]

Been using the crappie magnet for several years now, I always keep Mermaid, salt and pepper, black and chartreuse, red and chartreuse, and a few others when they get picky on Bobby Garlands I switch to crappie magnet and back and forth. Loving the crappie videos, thanks again.

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

Sounds like a deadly combination. Bobby Garlands are definitely proven crappie catchers as well. thanks for watching!

[@225jigpole]

That "shonuff and chartreuse" is insanely good! I use them down here in Southern Louisiana all the time!

[@jtotherog]

Haha thats the comment i just made! One of my top baits here in Kentucky!

[@lorenzoboyland5341]

I tend to use Powerbait Crappie nibbles but to keep more in my jar and catch more fish using the same piece, simply pour out the entire jar onto an aluminum pie pan and either place outside to air dry or I prefer placing on top of my refrigerator since it puts off heat above. When they are hard to the touch (not bricks) then you'll have a nibble that'll stay on hook longer and thus catch more fish and keep you out the store purchasing more as often.

[@Cladman3001]

scale'em clean'em roll'em in corn meal with salt and pepper, drop'em in the oil until the float and take'em out. The crispy dorsal fin and tail are excellent too.

[@kimcallahan9693]

There excellent. I’ve caught large Crappies on them and using the Trout Magnets too. What a nice gift to receive in the mail.

[@chadk8933]

Man I came across your channel a few weeks ago and have enjoyed all the videos you have put up. I live up in North West Ga and mainly bass fish but after watching all these crappie videos i had to go catch a mess of them at Chickamauga today. I’m subscribed to a lot of fishing channels but I’ll have to say this one is my favorite I look forward to more videos.

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

Chickamauga is a great crappie lake! I went to college at UTC and we use to fish up there quite a bit for them. I appreciate the kind words and thanks for watching!

[@retiredboxingref7620]

In he Indian Lake area in Ohio use people use micro jigs for crappie. So I use the ('Trout Magnets') They work wonderful!!!

[@preacherjohnnymounce4192]

I enjoy your channel . I dont know all there is to know about crappie fishing,,but I like their baits . Keep doing your thing on here . I'll preach ,,you fish and may the Lord BLESS !!!

[@jtotherog]

The Shownuff/Chartreuse is a killer color! The white bass here in KY go bonkers over it!✌

[@Natureboy1607]

Great video 👍

[@leslieanderson4690]

That Mermaid is a favorite for black crappie. Crappie Magnet is my go to crappie lure.

[@leslieanderson2074]

Those black crappie would love that Mermaid color. Thats my go to color on a couple lakes. Therapist and Shonuff chartreuse are next. Just found some of the Tiny dancers and fin spins. Can't wait to try them out.

[@mauricetimmons2462]

They are really a great jig to catch crappie I will go as far to say the jig is one of the best there is for this particular fishing

[@charlielewis6849]

Those crappie bight I started using those about 10 years ago and have never looked back I love them

[@Cajunboi023]

White and chartreuse is the number one color that loads the cooler with crappie. Black and chartreuse is good also. Crappie magnet probably the best crappie bait on the market

[@kristoffermann9109]

I’m blessed to be the Director of Pro Staff and Advertising for Crappie Magnet so I’m a bit biased but Crappie Magnets truly are remarkable baits. My dad and I have been blessed to have some success on the Crappie USA tournament trail over the years and we use CM baits exclusively. They produce all over the country in a variety of conditions. And we ALWAYS tip them with Slab Bites. They can’t hurt! Best of luck to you on the Elite Series. I keep track of all the tourneys and pull for you and Jason Christie all the time! Great review on the products too.

[@mokush4me412]

Black and chartreuse crappie magnet are a must have, here fishing in south Louisiana Atchafalaya Basin..

[@danielboles6263]

Loved your video, so lucky to be able to fish 12 months out of the year , up north we’re I am from , lucky to have 6-8 month of fishing just a fyi , I don’t know how old this video was , but just a heads up , when you use the crappie nibbles, and crappie magnet. Put the nibbles, between were the tail spits , stay on longer and put a little super glue on the hook then put on the crappie magnet. FYI.

[@mattcozart6916]

I can’t catch a cold on a prime day on “the Dead Sea” you make it look easy keep the videos coming.

[@joevaughan9983]

I fish with the crappie magnets and the the nibbles. I push the nibbles in between the two legs. It spreads the legs and gives more action. My area is the river. Never any clear water.

[@kimberlywood5943]

Hey Brandon, I have used Crappie Magnet for some time now and love them. I have found that the split tail works best under a slip float with the nibble pushed to split the tail apart, The shad bait works best for me when I am tight lining. Love the crappie shows you are doing. Go get em

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

I will try the slip float rig! Thanks for watching!

[@kimberlywood5943]

@@BrandonLesterFishing Hey Brandon, love seeing you fish Tims Ford. I am from central KY and fished Tims in the 80's and early 90's. Boy how the lake has changed with all the docks. Winchester Springs was our go to creek in the spring for topwater bass. Great memories

[@christopherlein2307]

I do alot of trolling here in south GA. I definitely get more bites on rough days when i tip my jigs with the slab bite or the Berkeley version

[@debraalexander8012]

Slab Bites work great , use them all the time

[@Byron4RollTide]

I don’t leave home without my Berkley PowerBait Crappie Nibbles. My opinion the Crappie Nibbles are the best on the market.✌️

[@robertprice7725]

Very good crappie baits

[@johndollar5561]

That's down to earth fishing,thanks for keeping it real!$$$

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

Thats what its all about! Thanks for watching!

[@gogetemtv5004]

Also I use the powerbait brand nibbles. When the bite is kinda slow it most definitely help. What you can do to make them last a little longer, on a sunny day put a few out on Piece of paper and let it dry out for a while and once it does it’ll stay on your hook much longer

[@gogetemtv5004]

@Bait'em Boys trust me you won’t be disappointed

[@gogetemtv5004]

I use them all the time on my channel “ Go Get Em tv “

[@russellself3140]

Great video. I've used the magnets before, catch more on the Bobby Garlands. Thanks for the videos.

[@marcustoney7762]

My most successful crappie fishing outings ever has been with the crappie magnets. They get the job done. The company is in arkansas where I'm from.

[@bkormoski1]

Time Ford super clear water and deep. I have only fished once but loved it. I could see a crappie flash 25 feet down when it hit my minnow

[@batfreak6897]

Been a live bait fisherman my entire life. This past year I've forced myself to learn artificial - these crappie magnets have become a go to for me and I have total confidence in their performance! Best of lucj has always been on the more natural colors

[@TylerGoesFishing]

love the crappie magnet

[@joebowman8204]

I just started using the Crappie Magnet about 18 months ago. Killer Klatt has been outstanding for me. So much so that even though I bought a lot of different colors I’ve just kinda stuck to the Killer K.

[@rogervandergriff1851]

Love them

[@drdoutdoors1603]

My favorite ones are the Slab magnet by crappie magnet in mermaid. I've caught tons of fish on those.

[@martydunn298]

That sho-nuff color is killer here on guntersville lake!! LIVE FOR THE THUMP MY FRIEND!!

[@timrobinson3972]

Been using crappie magnet for years my go-to bait use under a slip float take that slab bite slide it down the hook to it splits the tail open it's killer

[@brandonyeager4217]

"Shonuff" is the best color for crappie magnet to me...thats all me and my brother been throwing at Guntersville as well.

[@j.j.savalle4714]

We have used them many times on a drop shot rig. Just downsize your hook to a #4 circle or #6 aberdeen and the crappie magnets work great. Especially once you find that sweet spot depth this puts it right in the zone every time. Surprisingly we also caught perch, bream and bass with this method/bait.

[@SkeeterBone82]

Great video! Super crappie baits. I just saw the video the owner of company made... He put that nibble all the way up the hook to spread the legs of the bait out! More action for sure. Keep castin!

[@kylemurillo319]

I like the yellow 1/16th jig heads with either white or yellow crappie magnet bodies.

[@donaldtackett7287]

Love Crappie Magnets they work well on Norris Lake

[@steveleohr175]

My 2 favorite colors in crappie nuggets are chartreuse gold flake an the white silver flake

[@rockdoc6147]

I have used Crappie Magnets for about five years and they are my go to along with a Renosky Keystone minnow which is a tiny presentation but they seem to like it vertically jigged in a tough bite situation.

[@MegaTechno2000]

Where did you get the Renosky Keystone minnow ?

[@pastormike396]

Brandon, never put your bait in the water without putting make-up on that girl Lol... great vid! Crappie bites are a must!!!

Yes they make great baits. The nibblets I've used to tip hair jigs under a float for crappie and bluegill

I tip my waxworm with a crappie nibblet for bluegill fishing and it definitely helps. I haven’t tried them for crappie yet. I usually use minnows for crappie.

[@phillipharris2858]

Grate video! I use Crappie Magnets and they are slab catchers. Double rigged, single or under a bobber, I use whatever color the situation calls for , but my go-to colors are Black/Chartreuse, White/Chartreuse and Pumpkin Brown/Chartreuse. 👍🏽👍🏽

HEY BRANDON just started using them this fall on Guntersville lake and they work great my go to color is sho nuff

Been using these recently and funnily enough have never caught a crappie! Actually got my PB largemouth on one of these

[@dalecraft3562]

Hey Brandon, Love the crappie videos. I agree with a previous comment on puss in the nibble down into the split tail to enhance the action and profile of the magnet. Shonuff and mermaid are my go to colors on my home lake. Sore lip 'em all !

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

Definitely going to try that! Thanks for watching!

[@bigcscustomjigs2680]

I have never used them I always use bobby Garland. Or hair jigs that I tie myself. I will definitely have to check them out tho

Use nibbles or slab magnets on all jigs when fishing for crappie. They also work great for bluegill and redear instead of worms

I am a new subscriber and really enjoying your videos. Love the quietness a lot and your videos are very relaxing. Thank you and good luck fishing. 😀

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

Welcome aboard and thanks for watching!

[@caseyschaller647]

Nice! Enjoy your videos. I use and like bites/nibbles. If the fish are hammering bait they’ll hit about anything so not super important but when it gets little tougher seems to make a difference.

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

Yep that's exactly what I've found so far. Thanks for watching!

[@rodneyyarbrough6524]

I use those and Bobby Garland baits. They also have a split tail bait that's great. I use scent also. I think it helps and I'm sure it doesn't hurt. Also check out Smith Brothers baits. Twin brothers in North Carolina I think. They have some good stuff.

[@jimwilkerson7127]

Try their Fin Spin underspin heads as well. I've caught tons white bass and crappie with a Crappie Magnet or Keitech Easy Shiner.

[@77zhenry]

Just started using Crappie Magnet. Works great. I tip mine with a green garlic fireball. Ive tried other things and they are never as productive

[@scottsollars9759]

Slab bites seem to work well for me! I fish bob sandlin and lake fork.

[@docriordan7787]

Been using them for a couple years I like the tail action with no effort on your end. The company also makes jig heads with a small willow leaf blade attached to the bottom for a attention getter.

[@gogetemtv5004]

Nice video bro! I’ve been using crappie Magnets since the early 2000’s when I first got my first boat. I’ve caught a ton of slabs on them!!! Black and chartreuse is by far my favorite color. Add that with a red 1/32 oz jig head with a white eye and look out!!! Trust me you won’t be disappointed!

nothing like catching crappie on a jig .we did some work on a lake house on tims ford we were across from jollys rock. took the boat out once its a deep lake. i notice you catch a lot of black nose crappie. they are rare in my lake cant watch you fish anymore today your killin me lol

When those Black Crappie get finicky cut the front two ribs off to make it a shorter profile or go to a trout magnet add a split shot for casting. Sore lip’em all

[@hothamp]

I fish black and chartreuse and pink and chartreuse crappie magnets religiously if I don't use live bait. Absolute killer plastic. I run it with a loop knot and 1/16th oz usually 1/8th on a windy day. I run split tails. As far as their jig heads I love the nickle ones fish seem to be attracted to that flash on fall.

Thanks for watching!

[@tonyfrederick4038]

Brandon, on the Crappie Bites, If you have trouble with them falling off or getting mushy, heat them up in the oven to dry them out some. They will stay on much longer but yes they do work. What rod are you using in the video? I am having trouble finding a limber spinning rod that i like.

[@horacelee880]

Another GREAT Video! What series is the blue Rod you `re using in this video?

[@williamjenkins3720]

Oh yeah, 1/16th red/char topped with chartreuse nibble. I’ve only tried bout 4 colors. Caught fish on all color. OHL still sux.

[@PaleRider54]

The problem with something like those Slab Bites is you never know if you would have caught the fish you caught with them anyhow. You were catching fish before using the attractant and the change may not have made a difference. OR maybe it did.

[@rougaroux2359]

I’ve just watched a couple of your videos and I have to say I do like them. I would like to know if you ever come out to the more eastern lakes in Tn such as Norris to Crappie fish?

Hi there . I'm just trying to get into crappy fishing but I need to know how to line to to Thai And What type of rod & reel. & line

[@garyfinger294]

It is only cold when one has to cut through 9' of ice. Cold is when you drive your 4 wheeler around the lake. The air temp has nothing on the fish as they are rarely on the surface. My complaint is the state allows crappie to be 8' and bass have to be 15'. Split the difference and make both 12" before they can go to the frying pan.

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

Cold is relative to where you are I guess. In TN our lakes don't freeze over normally and 40 degrees is pretty chilly. Crappie have to be 10" here also. State law. Thanks for watching!

[@larryhobbs8769]

Just subbed. Good video. Man it must be nice to go crAppie fishing and not have to deal with a lot of boats.

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

Sometimes you have to learn how to outsmart other fishermen, as well as the fish 😉. I’m fortunate that I get to do a lot of my crappie fishing during the week in the fall and winter when there aren’t a lot of boats on the water, but these crappie get plenty of pressure overall. Fishing pressure forces us to become better anglers. Thanks for watching!
