    I seem to catch a lot more crappie with a UL rig! I use a UL spin with 2 lb NanoFil line (.002 diameter) thinnest line in the world now! Like spider thread? The line won't break, I've caught 10 lb catfish with that 2 lb line!

    I use a 1/64 oz live bait (barbless) jig head in white, chartreuse, pink, or black. Then I tie on and super glue a half of a staple (small size) with a bend at the end. This tiny bend holds a soft plastic (or Gulp Alive) on my jig.

    Look close at this pic and you can see the tiny barb:

    Only jig fish year around and use #6 or #4 sickle hooks in 1/32 oz and #2 or#4 sickle in 1/16 oz heads, all barbless heads for the solid body plastics I make. Love the 1 1/2" baits.
