its great that you fished with the "nibble" alone - a lot of people put the nibbles on with jigs etc...and you cant say thats an honest test of the bait itself. Thanks, Alex
The thing about bluegill is they tend to school by size. So if you’re catching small ones, it’s unlikely you’ll catch big ones in with them. Also larger ones tend to be deeper than smaller ones. But I’m impressed by the crappie nibbles. I never tried them, I never thought much of them. Now I’ll have to get some
Power bait nibbles is what I primarily use here on Florida for Bluegill and I love this bait as it has many times out fished my friends using live worms. And it's simple, if one does not do well; all I do is change color of this bait. Nada a problema!! By the way, love your videos! Great information. 👍🐟
Thanks for the test. I'll get some for me, er my kids.😉. Having fished for many years, I just considered the dropshot rig a gimmick to sell special tackle. Having watched Mr. Realistic use them effectively in past videos, I have them as one of my main go to rigs. Thanks again.
Thanks for keeping it real. I just started my channel and look at it as a kinda spiritual journey for my creative soul lol. Look forward to watching your videos. I like going back to the beginning of channels and seeing how people and gear have changed.
I've used them from time to time on a #12 dry fly hook with my Tenkara fly rod for bluegill, sunnies, and even cichlids. No weight etc. They tend to sink more slowly that way and the fish kill them. My go to colors are white and tan. you can also smear them on hooks or other baits, or stuff them into tubes as added attractant. They're good for 5-6 fly casts before they dissolve and fall off, but the fish usually get them first.
Nice vid! I like your style. Some years back me and my father in law hired a guide on Reelfoot lake that had us put these on our hooks with live minnows and we ended up cleaning around 30 crappies. I've kept these in my tackle bag ever since.
Usually I sock rig a little section of worm for my kids and for myself when I feel like it. I've also caught a fair amount of Panfish on flies. Might have to pick some of this up for those days where I don't have worms or time to get some.
Hey Alex went back to some of the old vids and found this one. I got some of those nibblers for $1.50 at Royal King cant wait to use them but with all this rain and flooding. Keep it Realistic
Mr.Alex thank you for sharing this with us cause i litterally was about to purchase magic bait crappie bites , decided to check youtube , thank you sir for confirming that magic bait crappie bites and Berkley powerbait is good effective way to catch them , im definetly going to have to keep this in my fishing backpack tackle now
Next time if you’re not getting any bites twitch your rod a little to make the bobber bob up and down and it will typically attract any nearby fish and make them crazy to eat it
I keep a fishing pole and tackle box behind the seat of my truck. Just in case a fishing opportunity arises. This stuff would be nice to have in the tackle box to use when running to the store for minnows or crickets isn't practical.
@@RealisticFishing add another one haha but well you basically just drop it in the water but I've gotten the hang of it where I can throw it maybe 1 or 2 yards out that's the best bait to catch bait
I throw these by swinging them out weightless on a hook using an ultralight. Cant cast far but the fish seem to be ravenous for them, definitely works when it seems nothing else will.
What some people do is they use small tube baits, and put the crappie nibble inside of the hollow area. I also heard of people putting some of those crappie nibbles into plastic syringes and injecting them into soft plastic baits. I haven't used those in a long time, but I have a number of jars of them. Maybe I'll go out and try them sometime soon. I have a new MH bass rod I need to test out too.
I like them. I use the chartreuse chroma-glo ones a ton, just over the barb of the hook on different lures like Beetle-Spins and even worms like wacky rigged. Seems to help with many kinds by slowly dissolving to release the scent.
Yes they can make a difference in catching some when the bite is slow. We fish them on little crappie jigs and squirrel tails. Catch bream crappie catfish and some bass
Tman OutDoors tight line with jigs or minnows or pull cot king squirrel tails I tip it with a nibble of bite is slow. I have saw them make a difference in a bite or not too
What are you favorites for cold water/weather our weather is simular to yours could you do something for Nov,Dec.weather? Thanks Your biggest new follower Jimmy
When I first saw these in a store I imagined them on teeny little hooks, and I was right all along! I bought a jar today and will try these out on an ultra light combo real soon. Thank you for nice video!
Great vid brother. Have yet to try the crappie nibbled. My go-to lures for crappie at the moment are the arkie soft plastic shad jigs and the johnson min-o-dart. Crappie fishing's pretty big at my spot in PA. Another popular lure for crappie is the powerbait atomic tube. Those are just the ones I've seen work the best or what I've had the most luck on.
Nice bait, I like them. Been using the nibbles since spring of last year myself, on my fourth jar. I have found the jar to jar consistency to be off though. My first jar was great, tough hard bait that stayed on the hook. Present jar so soft they sometimes come off the hook when casting.
I like the chartreuse ones the best tried the glitter ones wont do that again had that shit on me for a month looked like I went to a strip club instead of a fishing trip lol
How would you rig that little bluegill? I feel like I just don't set up my rig correctly. Or there are no fish! There are fish...but they are smart! A lot of fishing.
I only fish for catfish, panfish, and trout because I fish to provide some of my own food and those are the species I think taste the best but I primarily use dough baits for all of them I use Powerbait Chroma-Glow Panfish Nibbles for Bluegill, Black Crappie, White Crappie, and Redear Sunfish, I use Powerbait Trout Nibbles for Rainbow Trout, Brook Trout, and Brown Trout, and I use Berkley Gulp! Catfish Dough for Channel Catfish, Flathead Catfish, Bullhead Catfish, and Blue Catfish. And I have had great success with those particular dough baits and keep in mind I am a very experienced angler and I have been fishing for 25 years also I am currently using the Zebco 808 Spincasting Reel with 20 lb test fishing line for catfish and the Zebco 33 Spincasting Reel with 10 lb test fishing line for Panfish and Trout.
Gonna try out the nibbles tommorow. Man the average panfish on my lake are Bluegills and Pumpkin seeds over a 1lb. The Crappie fishing has been good lately, just trying different baits to lure out thr bigger ones
@@RealisticFishing Some of the pumpkin seeds are. The panfish are overall larger lol. I was able to get 1 Crappie on the nibbles today, the sunnies seems to like them. Been having better luck with a weight bobber, at least 18in of line then 1/32oz jig with a small plastic tube.
Used to use them to tio k...i igs for crappie. They work pretty well, but I started tipping jigs with minnows instead so that it ups the bait's profile.
@@RealisticFishing Well it's a mutual benefit. The jig gives the presentation some color. Makes it easier to acquire for a sight feeding fish like a crappie. The minnow adds scent and vibration when it struggles. You also go from a 2-2.5 inch presentation to something that's 3 or 4 inches depending on your jig a minnow size.
Ive never even seen those before but it seems like a great bait for my little girls to use. Itll keep my wife from fussing about them coming home covered in worm guts lol. Nice review vid brother, keep it up.
Your videos are awesome no B.S.
Thats right 👊

That does look like a great bait to use when you take kids fishing. Thanks for sharing.

I've seen this video many times and I always love the interaction with the boat guy. "Good luck brother!"
I used those NIPPLES for pan fishing, summer and ice fishing. I find they are great. You dont have to work them, they attract fish.
Doesn't get much easier than that 😅
I'm gonna try em through the ice this year!

And it's simple, if one does not do well; all I do is change color of this bait. Nada a problema!! By the way, love your videos! Great information. 👍🐟
I've been curious about those. Powerbait seems to always be a good choice when in doubt. It's usually expensive AF though.
This jar was 75 cents
Places like academy usually have non-powerbait brands of crappie nibbles that aren't as pricey. Its all p much the same crappie nibble type stuff.
Awesome video! I love the powerbait crappie nibbles! Perfect for when I take younger kids or friends who are too scared to touch nightcrawlers!
No guts! 😀
I was thinking of buying those for this weekend!! Thanks for this video. Can beat the realistic reviews and fishing advice.. thanks!
Thanks for watching A Young

Yep, they work!! Fish might be small, but they're biting!
They worked well. Its good bait for catching bait, I think thats right... 😅
Have a bottle in my tackle box. Caught pumpkinseed, bluegills, perch and rockbass on them.
Nice!
I gotta try em!
I love using those crappie nibbles on the end of marabou jigs when I crappie fish while camping!
Sounds like a good rig 👍
Always enjoyable videos. Thanks for sharing so many of your techniques and rigs.
Thanks for watching MrStradia
Dump in a pan & let them dry out. NOT TOO MUCH!!! They will be firmer & stay on longer.
*Enjoyed this video Realistic Fishing. What line weight were you using 10lb? Thank you.*

Do you believe in Jesus?
I use the Crappie Nibbles on a 1/16 oz. panfish jig head with tiny tube baits under a bobber. Works great.
Nice!
Better than using minnows or no?
Love these baits mostly use the regular white powerbait. Ive also got the Berkley gulp maggots which does not work well.
TheSicWolf I think the maggots are mainly for trouts

It can be fun 👍
The catfishing guy was smart for taking your bluegills. Fantastic bait

I've wondered about those nibbles......thanks for doing this. I'll have to give 'em a try sometime.
Worked for me 👍
They are really good on a rubber crappie jig makes them just that better.
I was thinking the might go good with small lures too 👍

How do you cast a free line crappie nibble... it weighs like -2 grams
@@RealisticFishing add another one haha but well you basically just drop it in the water but I've gotten the hang of it where I can throw it maybe 1 or 2 yards out that's the best bait to catch bait
Crappie Nibbles are the juice for panfish. I've used them quite a bit up here. 🔥🐬
Mmm Juicy!
I've used crappie nibbles a lot usually when I run out of worms but they sure do work good for perch, I even caught a small pickerel on them once.
I was a bit surprised by how well they can work. 👍
Me too when I first tried them, they smell just like goldfish food and I didn't think that would ever work.
I throw these by swinging them out weightless on a hook using an ultralight. Cant cast far but the fish seem to be ravenous for them, definitely works when it seems nothing else will.
Tons of fun. I like the trout dough, but can't catch anything with the crappie bait. I like dragging a black gnat fly behind a bubble for panfish.
I have used a float and fly as well. That works well too. I might do a vid about that 👍
I've got 3 jars of this stuff and I haven't managed to get a nibble on it so far. 😕 Going to try again this year.
What some people do is they use small tube baits, and put the crappie nibble inside of the hollow area. I also heard of people putting some of those crappie nibbles into plastic syringes and injecting them into soft plastic baits.

Powerbait crappie nibbles are a staple bait for me. I’ve been using them since I was a kid.
Yes they can make a difference in catching some when the bite is slow. We fish them on little crappie jigs and squirrel tails. Catch bream crappie catfish and some bass
Eddy Stocks do just let the lure sit there or do you work it?
Tman OutDoors tight line with jigs or minnows or pull cot king squirrel tails I tip it with a nibble of bite is slow. I have saw them make a difference in a bite or not too

Another in a long line of informative and entertaining videos!,,, thumbs up as usual. QUESTION: What type and size hook are you using?
Size 10
I just heard of using JUST a nibble to catch crappie. I always had them on a jig.
You're awesome as always man! I'm gonna try that on Sunday!
I bought a jar of sparkle crappie nibbles . Glitter gets all over but they do work.
I've had alright luck with powerbait nibbles. I been catching quite a few trout yesterday and today with shrimp.
I didnt know trout like shrimp! 😀
@@RealisticFishing Oh yeah, It works great for trout.
I just seem to catch the small blue gills, just like in the video. Do you think they will actually catch crappies?
yes, if the crappie are there
I use them to tip a 1/32 oz jig with a small rubber worm.
How would you rig that little bluegill?
I feel like I just don't set up my rig correctly. Or there are no fish!
There are fish...but they are smart! A lot of fishing.
