I've caught more bass on white crappie jigs than you would beleive. There cheap, pick up a pack. Also, red and white spoons of various sizes, and crankbaits, lipped to start with, go to bait shops and ask what the hot colors are. Notice I said color. In college, I was a semiprofessional fly tier. The fly shop owner and I did extensive feild testing, and determined that color and size was much more important than pattern.
