just so happen to have all the materials (cept for some sinking tip line)
to tie those up and give them a try...The lake I wanna try is only 10 ft,
but anybody who knows anything about crappie knows that they will take
over a lake if left unchecked, so I can get as deep as they will be in
that particular lake...We have caught them there up to 141/4 " long,(when
I say WE, I mean My daughter on a beetle spin LOL) We call those
"slabs"..Chuck

Here's a couple that I like.
This first one maybe Allan remembers or... maybe not. It was from 2003.
But the last guy to show (Shawn Rhoderick) caught about a dozen
crappies on about 2 dozen casts. He was using a "marabugger" of his
own creation. Simple as all get-out to tie. Needless to say, we all
went in to the garage and tied a few of them.
Hook: Mustad 3906B or equivalent
Thread: Chartreuse
Eyes: Bead chain
Tail and body: Chartreuse Marabou
Rib: Silver mylar tinsel
Tie bead chain eyes on near front of hook. Take thread to rear.
Take one marabou plume. Pull the ends together and tie on as a tail,
approximately the length of the hook shank. Hold butt end of plume
towards rear and tie in a short piece of mylar tinsel. Take thread
forward. Twist marabou plume into a "rope" and wrap the body.
Tie off the plume and cut off excess. Wind the rib up to the thread
and tie off, clip excess. Wrap a thread head and whip finish.
Takes a good two or three minutes per fly (my kind of fly). We're
now calling it the "Shawn-bugger".

Dick's Dandy: (Dick Strock)
#8 3XL streamer hook
Tail Red hackle tail 3/8" long.
body 9 strands of peacock herl spun into a chenille.
beard red hackle tied down.
wing White over black bucktail (Sparse) Do not let the wing
extend
past the bend of the hook more than 1/8"or the fly will foul.
This fly MUST be fished with a sinking tip line. Adding split shot ruins
the
action of the fly. Use short and long strips with long pauses. The fish
will most offen take on the pause. The fly will suspend if tied
correctly.
It's a simple fly to tie but very effective.
