Description

The Little Thumper is a 1.5-inch paddle tail built to get bit when crappie want movement without bulk. Designed and poured by Steven Turner of Crappie Man Jigs , this compact bait delivers a tight, consistent tail kick that thumps even at the slowest speeds. Its smaller profile makes it deadly in cold water , on pressured fish , and when crappie are keyed in on tiny forage. Whether you’re vertical jigging, shooting docks, or slow-rolling along brush, the Little Thumper’s paddle tail puts out just enough vibration to call fish in without spooking them. Perfectly paired with light jig heads, this bait shines on a 1/32 oz setup , letting it glide naturally and stay in the strike zone longer. Features: 1.5” compact paddle-tail design Tight thumping action at slow speeds Ideal for cold water and finesse presentations Pours and designed by Steven Turner Built to match light jig heads like 1/32 oz 20 per pack

Field Notes

Use the 1.5-inch paddle tail on light jig heads (notably around 1/32 oz) when crappie want subtle movement. It’s especially effective in cold water and on pressured fish, working well for vertical jigging, shooting docks, or slow-rolling near brush to keep the bait in the strike zone longer.
