Found some slabs today!

Dude I thought the exact same thing!! And still so even though I've caught tons of crappie on them! Just started using them last year, I had always passed the crappie sliders at bass pro and was like man those things look weird I wonder if they work so last year I bought some sliders and some slider jig heads and that's 90% what I throw now. It's Incrediable how you can get in the brush and structure and pull right through it. Just make sure the hook point isn't exposed at all and if you do that you can literally get right down in that stuff and just pull it through and let it fall and most the time you will get a huge thump! And you just set the hook like you usually would and it will get em!

Were you vertical jigging or casting in/around the trees?

Find trees and brush with your sonar and back off of it and just cast those sliders and keep throwing until you locate the brush. Then just keep throwing at it and reel really slow and when you feel it kind of pull it through it and then let the jig fall and they will thump it pretty hard!
