Most anglers reach for tiny jigs when targeting fall crappies, but Jeremy Smith and Jeff Simpson discovered something completely different. On this episode, the duo targets scattered basin crappies using Rapala Countdown Elite crankbaits and quickly learns that bigger presentations can trigger some of the most aggressive strikes of the season.
Watch as Jeremy Smith and Jeff Simpson break down how they locate crappies using Humminbird XPLORE mapping features, depth highlighting, and precise boat control. Once they dial in the deepest portions of the basin, the Rapala Countdown Elite becomes the star of the show, producing hard-hitting strikes from thick, healthy slab crappies.
