Mr. Crappie Shoo Shiner 1/16 oz. Pink Shiner

The Strike King Mr. Crappie Shoo Shiner 1/16 oz. Pink Shiner is a compact crappie jig built for anglers chasing panfish in shallow cover and around structure. At 1/16 ounce, this lightweight jig sinks slowly and suspends naturally in the water column—ideal for targeting crappie in brush, downed timber, and dock pilings where a subtle presentation matters. The pink shiner finish mimics the small baitfish that crappie feed on, making it an effective choice whether you're fishing live bait beneath a bobber or jigging vertical over deep holes.

Strike King designed the Mr. Crappie line specifically for panfish hunters who want a jig that's easy to cast on light tackle and responsive to slight rod movements. The 1/16 ounce weight keeps it in the strike zone longer, giving crappie more time to commit—especially useful when fish are sluggish or feeding tight to cover.

Whether you're a dedicated crappie tournament angler or a casual panfish hunter, this jig rounds out any tackle box. Stock a few in your favorite colors and sizes; at this weight, they're ideal for ultra-light spinning rigs and short crappie poles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size rod and reel setup works best with a 1/16 oz. crappie jig?

A 1/16 ounce jig pairs well with ultra-light spinning rods (5 to 6 feet) matched to a small spinning reel spooled with 2–4 pound test line. This combination gives you the sensitivity to feel bites and the control to work the jig in tight cover. Many crappie anglers also use dedicated crappie poles—short, sensitive rods designed specifically for panfish—with this weight jig.

Can I fish this jig under a bobber?

Yes. The 1/16 ounce weight is light enough to suspend naturally under a bobber, making it an excellent choice for live bait presentations around docks, brush, and timber. Adjust your bobber stop to keep the jig suspended at the depth where crappie are holding.

What does the pink shiner color imitate?

Pink shiner is a baitfish imitation designed to match small shiners and other forage crappie feed on. The pink tone is effective in clear to slightly stained water and works particularly well during spring and fall panfish seasons.
