I use them jigs with and without, I get better strike and hit ratio WITH crappie nibbles. Most of the times I limit out I have them nibbles I even pick up the ones on the floor not to get them wasted  . I try to dry them out a bit since they are so soft and moist coming out of the jar and dissolves easily as is, so i put them on top of a paper towel and leave them overnight to get them lose moisture and now I have a tougher dough that won't dissolve easily. Try a micro-fiber towel. Really toughens up the skin.

I rarely use them but I know of people who say they couldn't get bit without them.

Definitely check with crapicat...... he wont wet a hook without one! All kidding aside they are cheap and easy to use. I absolutely know they dont cause a negative impact so I always use them. Crappiecat feeds them to his minnows, said they fish better that way...he insisted on bringing his own minnows last time we fished together and he did out fish me.

The driving force and secret desire of every bass fisherman, is to one day be a crappie fisherman............Could it be that the good Lord just smilies and looks the other way when a fisherman tells a lie?

Try the maggots; same smell and tougher to last longer.

The crappie nibbles are not magic so if youre not on fish youre just not on fish but if youre where the fish are and they get lock jaw the nibbles will help you get bit and the fish will hold onto your jig longer giving you more time to set the hook......

2-3 years ago,Hook'em aka Bill Carr recommended I use the maggots as Ken mentioned. They are tough and have a scent to boot.

Ok, so mostly they are a crutch to make folks feel better or to compensate for overly slow reflexes..or a limber rod...  Ocassionally, they actually do help, but not enough to deal with the mess and the extra time...there are some on my boat...kinda shrunken in a glob, kind of like silly putty...you can have them if you want them...

There have been times when they have made a difference. Like has been stated above I dry them out either by laying them out between two paper towels. If I'm in a real hurry to dry a batch out I will break out the heat gun and it dries them out in just a few minutes. After I have dried them out I put them in an old Rx bottle that has just a snap on lid. That way I don't have to keep unscrewing the top on the nibble jar. The thing about drying them out is that they last much longer on the hook. I have caught up to 5 fish on one nibble.

Columbus took a chance and he made it.

My dad will not drop a jig without one on it. I don't ever use them and when my dad and I fish together we are usually neck and neck on fish.

I can only speak for my home lake but here, I sat on top of fish a couple of weeks ago. If I missed a fish and it knocked my nibble off, i could set there for 10 minutes with no more bumps. I would reel in add a nibble and go back to catching fish.
