Crappie Baits Kit, 40 & 135 Piece Soft Plastic Underspin Review
Our verdict
The Crappie Baits Kit runs $21.99 for 135 pieces of high carbon steel and plastic jig heads, backed by a 4.4 star rating across 44 reviews. That trails the 4.5 to 4.7 star averages of the Strike TGSJ38-234, Z-MAN 003341, and Trout 87699, though its 135-piece count is nearly matched only by the Trout kit's 150 pieces, and it moved 100+ units last month.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Overview
A crappie trip usually means working small jig heads through brush piles and standing timber, and running out of the right size or color partway through the day is the kind of problem a big assortment is meant to solve. The Crappie Baits Kit answers that with 135 pieces built around high carbon steel and plastic jig heads sized for crappie technique, all for $21.99.
That price sits just below the Trout 87699's $22.99 but well above the Z-MAN 003341's $9.96 and the Strike TGSJ38-234's $5.99, making it the second most expensive jig in this comparison. Its 4.4 star rating across 44 reviews does not carry the same standing, since the Strike sits at 4.5, the Trout at 4.6, and the Z-MAN at 4.7. The review count of 44 is also the smallest sample among the four jigs compared, well short of the Trout's 1,808 or the Z-MAN's 439.
Where the kit does stand out is piece count. At 135 pieces it comes closer to matching the Trout 87699's 150-piece kit than the single-jig Strike or Z-MAN listings, and its 100+ bought-last-month figure shows steady, if not standout, current demand. For anglers who want volume and a crappie-specific size and color assortment in one box, that combination carries more weight than a slightly lower star average.
Pros
- 135 pieces in one kit, nearly matching the Trout 87699's 150-piece count and far more than the single-jig Strike or Z-MAN listings.
- Built from high carbon steel and plastic jig heads sized specifically for crappie technique.
- Priced at $21.99, below the Trout 87699 at $22.99 for a comparable piece count.
- 4.4 star rating across 44 reviews is a solidly positive average.
- 100+ units bought last month shows ongoing demand.
Cons
- 44 reviews is the smallest sample of the four jigs compared, versus 1,808 for the Trout 87699 and 439 for the Z-MAN 003341.
- 4.4 star average trails the Strike TGSJ38-234 (4.5), Trout 87699 (4.6), and Z-MAN 003341 (4.7).
- At $21.99 it costs more than double the Z-MAN 003341's $9.96 and nearly four times the Strike TGSJ38-234's $5.99.
- Bought-last-month figure of 100+ matches the Strike and Z-MAN pace but trails the Trout 87699's 400+.

Performance notes
The kit pairs high carbon steel with plastic in its jig heads, a combination meant to keep hook strength up while keeping the head itself light, which matters for the smaller finesse presentations crappie fishing calls for. The listing sizes the assortment as Middle, and the color spread is described as a 135 piece Pro Crappie Assortment, meaning the pieces are meant to cover a range of conditions rather than one specific look. That range is the main advantage over single-color, single-piece listings like the Strike TGSJ38-234 or Z-MAN 003341, both of which ship one color and one size in a single unit. Against the Trout 87699's 142-piece kit, this 135-piece set is close in scale but built around a narrower, crappie-specific technique rather than the Trout's stated multi-species target.
What buyers say
A 4.4 star average across 44 reviews is solidly positive but not the top rating in this comparison set. The sample size is thin, the smallest of the four jigs here, so that average carries less certainty than the Trout 87699's 4.6 stars over 1,808 reviews or the Z-MAN 003341's 4.7 stars over 439. The 100+ bought-last-month figure suggests consistent rather than explosive demand, in line with the Strike TGSJ38-234 and Z-MAN 003341's own 100+ figures and behind the Trout 87699's 400+. Together the pattern reads as a steady, moderately reviewed seller rather than a runaway favorite.

How many jig heads come in the Crappie Baits Kit?
The kit includes 135 pieces of high carbon steel and plastic jig heads sized as Middle and described as a Pro Crappie Assortment. That is close to the Trout 87699's 142-piece, 150-count kit, and far more than the single-piece Strike TGSJ38-234 or Z-MAN 003341 listings.
What does the Crappie Baits Kit cost compared to other jigs?
At $21.99, it costs slightly less than the Trout 87699's $22.99 but more than double the Z-MAN 003341's $9.96 and nearly four times the Strike TGSJ38-234's $5.99. Given its 135-piece count, the per-piece cost is lower than any single-jig listing in this comparison.
Is the Crappie Baits Kit well reviewed?
It holds a 4.4 star rating across 44 reviews, the smallest review base of the four jigs compared here. The Strike TGSJ38-234, Trout 87699, and Z-MAN 003341 all rate higher, from 4.5 to 4.7 stars, with review counts ranging from 283 to 1,808.
