Thread: Freezing weather (high pressure ) sends them to the bottom

Ken Roberson from Power Crappie (Huckabee Rods ) gave me a couple new rods to try out at the Crappie Expo last week . The 9' one called a Hot Rod will be good for a spinning reel . The Phantom is a 13' jig pole for extra reach and I rigged with a bait caster . I could not believe how a 13' rod could still be light but still swing slabs . He gave me a new hat as mine had faded from the sun . Thanks Ken Roberson and Todd Huckabee . Both great guys , enjoyed meeting you both . Thanks again .

I got to try the 13' Phantom yesterday and it was amazing for such a big jig pole . Used it yesterday and think it will be a big part of my arsenal for jigging shallow water where it will help to have a longer reach . It was a bit heavier but not much considering the length . Super strong and still plenty sensitive .

The Crappie behind this super cold front were plastered to the bottom around wood . It started off slow . I was checking for fish on wood but not seeing any . Kept looking with livescope and spotted something on the bottom tucked tight to the wood . Dropped a jig on them and bam , it was on . Nothing like seeing one turn on a jig and smack it . Started catching a few and then it warmed up when sun got overhead. They then pulled up of top of brush and started warming up or whatever . Flipped that purple/chartreuse Umbrella tube rigged on a unpainted insert jighead from Timmy Tom and they smacked it . Ran into my favorite couple from the Arkansas forums and shared the wealth. Always glad to share my catch with folks that enjoy them

You da man! Poor fishes just can’t hide from ya now! Nice mess of feeshes!
