Can I bobber fish with a plastic lure like this, or should I just stick to a jig head?

You can fish however the hell you want.

Of course you can. Weightless could even be better than a jig.

That how my kids rig them for bluegills.

It certainly could catch something. My gut says to stick with a jig head. It never hurts to try new things though

Try a slip float to give the lure action

Believe it or not I fish like this with flies and catch loads of fish. If it works and it not against local regulations go for it.

You can, but unless you are fishing in current where the minnow will have movement it wont be enticing enough to strike.

That’s my setup for perch and bows

My experience; yeah I’m a newbie.
>> Be careful if you attach weight under the bobber. I used a “float” and had a plastic bead,
that controlled the depth of my hook ( by stopping the bobber/float from rising up the
Line ). I think it was an ounce pyramid weight.
Anyway, I cast the rig, an it sinks. All of it sank!!
So, as I tried to reel it in, it snagged & I had to
cut it loose.

If it works, it works.

Works great for panfish. Cast, let it settle. Crank a little, pause, crank a little more. Give it a couple light twitches here and there. I prefer grub tail plastic minnows, but a crappie minnows sized mimic works well too.

I use trout magnets like this, only with the jig instead of a split shot. You would need current though. Maybe a slow steady retrieve would work? I’ve heard of people fishing crappie jigs that way

I’d put it on a small jig head behind a spinner blade and move it through the water to cover more water and find where the fish are.
I’d rig live bait the way your drawing shows.

Thank you, everyone, for the replies. I have jigheads, but dont have any idea of what to do with the panfishing hooks I bought before.

This is totally a thing but as others said, usually with a slip float

Basically a cork rig for inshore. Tie the hook on with a loop knot at give the bobber a couple small pops every so often to twitch the minnow

I’ve used this set up before with slip bobbers to fish crappies out of thick cover. Awesome rig.
