Crappie gear....whatcha' like fellers?

[captdave]

Wish there was a section on just gear that everybody prefers/uses. So.....lets get 'er done fellers. List what you like in rods/reels and for what purpose (long lining , spider rigs, jigging, etc.)

I'm a big fan of BnM jig poles and I predominately use 1/16 oz sickle hook jigs. My favorites are Bobby Garland baby shad, Crappie Magnets, and Kalins Triple Threat baby shad (getting very hard to find anymore). GTT

I agree, I have always thought that a tackle/hardware section was needed.

"G" is right !! Plus, there are so many different brands that members "prefer/use". Some because they've tried many different ones & found the ones they like best, and others because that's all they've ever used. There's just too many variables.

Me personally ... I've got about 40 rods/reels, none of which match any of the others (as far as same brand rod w/same brand reel). And as far as baits I use (or prefer) ... there's probably at least a dozen different brands that I pick & choose from, some of which are commercially made & others that are made by several different members of this site. All of my equipment, as far as rod/reel outfits & baits, have undergone multiple changes over the years ... and may well change again this year

I agree. I'm looking at I don't know how many rod/reel combos in my computer room, but there are many. Not too many of like kind/brand either. That's part of the fun of fishing....trying different things and see what's good and what's not so good for your style of fishing. About the only consistent leaning I see in my arsenal right now is toward Pflueger President (6920's) reels and B n' M rods.

I guess my goal being new to crappie fishing was to hear what more experienced guys like and use so I could learn some ideas and research. Then try them out for myself.

I've got to many to list but my favorite dock shooter is a 5'6 lighting rod with a zebco delta reel, and my favorite ul is 6ft inferno rod with a Shimano spinning reel "Sedona"

Dont forget to look at discussions in the different state forums and also look at the Archives board http://www.crappie.com/crappie/archi...ant-to-loose-/

I like the Richard Williams models from B&M in all three sizes of 7, 10, and 12ft for the majority of my style of fishing. I also like my 5.5 sharpshooters from B&M.
