what type of cork when jigging

[matt1991]

Sometimes the "plop" splash will spook them, and sometimes it draws their attention/curiosity.

If you can, cast sidearm .... it will produce a little less "plop" than a high arching overhead cast.

Going lighter on your line # test, longer with your rod length, or both, will likely add more distance to your cast ... even without the weighted float.




I don't know if they've changed, but seems like I remember many pre-spooled spincast reels coming with 10# test mono on them. And not always a major brand of mono, either. You really only need 4-6# test mono for most Crappie casting techniques. IMHO

yeha i prefer no larger than 6 pound test i like 4 i wana learn how to use spinning reels but a decade ago i got a cheap 10 dollar one and it somehow got all knotted up in the spool so i said forget it after my first day of fishing with it guess i ened someone t show me some things about them

i think the splash it makes is to much even with a sidearm cast i should tyr n use one of the plastic longer corks but god they cost like 2 dollars a pop ohh well guess it will make it work

As stated, lots of spin cast reels come with 10# line and not premium line either. To overcome some of the shortcomings of casting a spin cast, use one of the better monos in 4 or 6 Lb test. Berkley Nanofil is supposed to cast really well but I have not used it myself.
I get really good distance on Berkley Fireline 6# on my spinning reels but I'm not sure how well braided line would work on a spin cast.

i once tried t do braidedline on my zebco 888 catfish reel it didnt work lol

i usually get the cheap 2 dollar line tbh cause most lines r like 10 buks im gonna re spool all my rods with 6 pound test just n case i get me a catfish on one

Consider this : Vicious Panfish 6lb Hi-Vis Fishing Line 2360 Yard Spool .... not necessarily from this particular place, but the length of line vs price on Vicious lines in the 1/4lb spool are usually fairly reasonable.

And if you should decide to purchase from this place, be sure and contact them FIRST ... just to make sure you're buying what you want, since there is a discrepancy in their description. Picture and title say "hi-vis" .... but, other places on the page say "lo-vis clear".

I like pinch on quill floats myself and have converted quite a few other float fisherfolks to them .
smallest that will stay above the water line with the jig weight you chose and typically 6 lb mono for me .
a slightly larger open faced spinning reel than most use for crappie will also help in line capacity and casting …..
my 2 cents

[matt1991]

i took all 6 f my spincast rods i ahd and added 4 pound line to them just gotta really watch my drag incase i catch something big so it wont break off

If you decide to try a spinning reel again make sure it’s spooled with good quality line... it will make all the difference... of your lookin to fish with a jig and cork you should always carry the round ones, the pear shaped ones and cigar shaped ones each one will give that jig a different action! We use em all the time in the spillways around here and I prefer to use the smaller cork possible to float the jig....

I don’t cast much. I just walk on top of the water to where the fishies is. My pole conjures up the fisies.
