Thread: Advice on fishing line for crappie fishing in clear water

Trolling or single pole? When I fish Norfork tightlining I fish Trout Magnet 2 lb SOS and if the water is really clear I’ll tie on some of their 2 lb flouro leader. Have had good luck with it.

Single line. I fish Greer’s Ferry most of the time

“Eenie meenie miney mo” is an excellent method for choosing a line.

Everybody on this forum uses different line, and everybody catches fish. It’s 100% personal preference.

Usually Crappie not real line shy . in brush you might not want to use real light of line . Some guys use lighter line for casting distance . Most places I use 8lb but 6 lb might be a good choice .

Crappie magnets and SOS Designed on Greers Ferry for Greers Ferry..
Not trying to sell but pass along..
Can't beat their stuff..My opinion
On Greers, Norfork, Bull Shoals
Stay away from the cover can't Express that enough..Livescope has verified this to me..
At least a long cast away from the cover..
Keep your Trolling motor out of the cover..
Its clear they are spooky...Stay away..
Not Lake Conway, where you can get right on top of them..Good fishing..
Caught a limit kept 10 to eat..Turned lose a lot of females

I use 4# hi viz line, in the clear water, no problem- staying away from the fish is the only way to catch them- cast to them with a jig, spinner or RR= you can use a slip cork.
