Got talked into a potential after dark crappie outing, id say medium water clarity and will be fishing 15 footish. Plan on a deadstick n minnow rig next to the jigging hole, looking for ideas on what to fish with below the marcum on the jigging rod.

A glow demon on the minnow rig and whatever glow spoon or glow jig you want.

For jigging I like to use either a glow jig or a small rattle spoon.
But usually we just set out 3 Tip Downs each and do not jig.

With the rippin raps,just lift and lower them with slight shakes.A lot of guys over work them and give up.
I fished crappies at night in clear water,those fish liked the glow white or green.Never tried blue though.Bring the jig up,and let it slowly fall.Watch the locator to see how they react.Night fishing can be a blast,or a bust.
