Bobby Garland baby shad in monkey milk and blue thunder have probably caught the most for me over the years. I also like the fin-s shad baits by Lunker City in similar colors.

Depends on water color.
Where I fish, Guntersville, it's usually pretty clear. I use Bobby Garland's, primarily Monkey Milk and also some Blue Ice. When it's stained I use Pink Phantom. When it get closer to dark I put on a darker color. Cajun Cricket or Tadpole or even something black.
I use a curl tail sometimes with very good success. One that seems to work everywhere sometimes is a Southern Pro Hot Grub in the color, Wildcat. I always have one of those handy.
This past year I started using Leland Lures, Crappie Magnets. I have them in 2 colors. Monkey Milk and Black/Chartreuse. I caught a lot of fish on those. They are tougher than Bobby Garlands and last longer.
The Black/Chart works really well in muddy and stained water.

My favorite curly tails are Southern Pro, the tail seems to turn easier with a slower retrieve. BG are good as well, I also really like Leland Lure “Crappie Magnets” caught hundreds of fish of these. Now what water are you on? You looking at trolling, shooting, vertical jigging, casting, etc etc??

Tell me how you are fishing the Bobby Garland. I have never been able to catch a fish using Monkey Milk or any other color. Cast it and let it fall in front of them and wait til your line jumps

The key most times is fishing it slow with an occasional twitch.
Would walk over a naked woman to get to a gobblin turkey!

We use sliders with slider heads. Fish them just like you would a worm or a jig for bass. We rig them weedless and often tip with a minnow. That is the most fun way that we catch them.

Tell me how you are fishing the Bobby Garland. I have never been able to catch a fish using Monkey Milk or any other color. 80% of the time I tie 2, 1/32 oz. jig heads with #2 hooks on 4 lb. Crappie Pro Yellow line about 18-24" apart, sometimes 2 different colors, sometimes the same. Cast them out and count down until they reach just above the depth that you are showing them on the graph. Watch your line closely for any unnatural movement. Reel slowly, no, scratch that. Reel s-l-o-o-w-w-l-l-y-y. As mentioned above, a little twitch or even a hesitation will often trigger strikes when it's slow. I rig the same way to long line. I like the Slab Slayers and the Baby Shad equally well. My colors are typically Monkey Milk Cajun Cricket Hologram Ghost Blue Ice Electric Chicken Chartreuse Black Pepper And I'm not crazy about the name of it but Double Silver Rainbow has put a lot of Crappie in the boat.
