Thread: trolling and brim

Does anyone set aside one pole for brim when crappie tightlining? I have been using Gulp worms as an attractent along with nibbles on my jigs and have been getting some bites that take off the worm. So I fixed up one pole with 2 very small black brim jigs above a 1/4 oz bell weight and will be trolling it along with my crappie jigs. Mainly been catching crappie from 8 to 14 feet along the creek, hopefully some nice brim will show up. Been real warm here in east-central MS, don't know what that will do to the crappie.

For me its more like setting a rod aside for Specks while bream fishing with the fly rod :D.

Yeh, I have been known to target mutiple species at once. I got it from my granddad. He always, no matter what fishing he was doing, he would put a rod in a rear rodholder with a night crawler on it. Last time we went bream fishing he did it while flip'n crickets. He landed two four pound bass, he calls it the bonus rod.
