Welcome from SC!
I don't use the fly rod, but I tie quite a few flies for them and use them under a float, usually 8-12 inches above a jig. I may try to take a fly rod after them this spring though. If you're interested in some flies gimme a shout and I'll be glad to help you out. I tie plenty of Clouser minnows and crappie candy flies and can do lots of others.
