I have always prefered very small minnows but last year my neighbor showed me that the really big minnows worked better than small at that time anyway..

I like big, just more $$$!

Small they work better too me!

We normally fish with a pretty good size minnow. Probably about 2" long.

Ive always used big minnows. But i moved to fork last year & found small worked a lot better--I THOUGHT.? -----------mike

i found that i some lakes small minnows work better and at others you need a minnow that could eat a crappie to catch anything

I think to catch a fish, you got to think like a fish. So if you were a fish, and you had a choice of a small minnow or a big minnow, which do you take? I take the big one!!

yeah look at it this way you want to use small minnow to catch flipper or giant minnow and catch mobey dick

I always use big ones and I'll tell you why. Crappies are almost used to small baitfish and jigs and such. when you stick Moby Dick in front of their nose they eat it quick. Everytime I use large minnows I catch crappies.

i like small ones but i fish clear lakes

do you see a diffrence is strike power or fight???
with smaller or larger minnows anyone???

I use small minnows in the winter, mediums the rest of the year. I mostly use jigs. In the north were they fish through the ice they use very small jigs 1/64 oz or smaller. In the same areas they use larger jigs in the summer. ~ Crappieslayer

I think the big minnows fight more.

I use large minnows all the time and catch crappie but, still
haven't caught Mobey yet. When I do, I' m definetly getting him mounted.

Big bait = big fish
