Light green with a black head. Yellow is good too.
Yes. Crappie jigs catch many other species besides just crappie.
It depends on lake size, depth, plants, lake bed structure, etc. The easiest rig you should use in my opinion starts with a ultra light rod and a good spinning reel. You'll get more response and can feel smaller bites with this rod. Crappie are notorious for light bites. 4 to 6 pound fluorocarbon line works the best. The most basic crappie rig I've found that works great is a 1/16 oz. lead jig head with a soft plastic wrapped around it. Small tube jigs work well with chartreuse and pink color working best. Jig straight down with 1 foot light jigging or float a jig under a slip bobber. Added bait works when you attach half a worm, cricket, meal worm to the jig.
Many fishermen will hook a live minnow on their jig for a technique which is called spider rigging.Live Minnows, Jig Fishing, and Slow Trolling is the best way to catch crappie.
Tan, white, black, and grey.
No, cuz they're crappie!
Depending on water clarity and presentation, jig skirts for pan fish can be as varied as the imagination. I've used deer hair and dog fur with good results and iridescent FlashaBou Mylar for most warm water jig fishing. Real hair flairs and has a finesse flutter; Mylar has flash but can also be of a fine grade strand that has a finesse action when held in place with no rod action. Both are easy to tie and easy to replace (especially if you own a dog. LOL) (I've never been fond of feathers for jig skirt though they are a favorite of many.)
The scientific name for white crappie is Pomoxisannularis and for black crappie is Pomoxis nigromaculatus.
No. Crappie are fish, in the sunfish family.

Crappie Minnows will eat any bread or old cereal but for the best results a small flake fish food would provide the best results. For the term crappie minnow: It is a alternative name for the Bullhead minnow (Pimephales vigilax). The minnow is commonly used in crappie Fishing hence the name.
