I have been looking but have yet to find a decent lure that has a black crappie pattern.
Does anyone know where I can get one?
Thanks

There is a really nice one at sportsmans in provo. I think it was made by storm, 3 or 4 inches long. looked purddy.

Pineview has a lot of really good imitations[]. Seriously though if your going after anything besides muskie I've never found anything better to imitate crappie/bluegill than Berkley (not gulp) power swim baits in 4 to 6 inch. I you are going after muskie good luck to you. I have caught several over the years but none when I was trying to.

They are not necessarily for muskie, though I have seen allot of small Crappie floating with some puncture wounds or bits missing,I am more trying to expand my bass arsenal. I also need to learn how to effectively use a few more lures.

If you are thinking about the Kickin Slab theyre kinda junk, real heavy and dont swim very well. Might work for you though.

For spinnerbaits, there's this option: http://www.persuaderamerican.com/spinner-imaged.html

Bagley made some crappie imitating cranks, you can still find them on ebay and other online sources. I've done well at Newton for muskie and bass fishing a Bass Pro Lazer Eye Shad crank in the pearl splatter back color. It has a broad, flat shape like a crappie, and the color looks quite a bit like a crappie.

I would also check ebay for some custom painted baits. There are quite a few square bills painted in a crappie pattern.

Spro's Little John cranks in "Cellmate" could probably pass as a crappie too.

I'm thinking I might have to pick some of these up too,

maybe in a perch or bluegill color as well.
