Zep - I have never stocked or even see a hybrid crappie. They weren't available or I didn't know about them at the time of stocking.
The best baits for us in the early or late season (April, Oct)have been minni tube jigs (1/16 to 1/32 weight). The best baits in the warmer months have been live BG's under a bobber or like you, crank baits. Silver and black or perch colored Rapala's. Floating on top and jerk across like a top water muskie plug.
I am amazed at how big a crank bait a BCP will hit. Have you noticed that too? A 6" crappie with a bait as long as him hanging out!
