Favorite Crappie Fishing Line

[BuckeyeCrappie]

I use 4 lb whatever is cheapest for jigging and drop shot fishing. Lately I have been using Berkley fluorocarbon.

I spider rig with 8lb Vicious
Cast and single/Long Pole with with Power Pro Braid...anywhere from 10-20lb

I weave three strands of #6 Uni line in Pearl, Moss and Blue if I am wanting to use 4 lb line. Will add one strand of Pale Red if I want 6lb. So I guess that makes me a braid guy. Of coarse, I also forge my own hooks.....all sickle red.
Does that put us anywhere near 30 different lines??? ;-)

Walt & I are strictly ultra-light fishermen. The waters we fish are conducive to this style of fishing. We do not have to contend with fishing brush piles, weeds or other obstructions. And we mainly side pull jigs over deep (20'+) water basins.

I prefer 2# test Fireline Crystal (.5 lb. diameter) for my main line, with a 2# test fluorocarbon leader. I join this with the Alberto knot and have been using it for quite a few years now. Add to that the fact that I've taken some really big fish on this set up. I also have a "heavy" jig rig for 1/8 & 1/4 oz. jigs. For this I use 4# test Fireline Crystal for the main line with a matching 4# test fluorocarbon leader. This is a good set up when the fish are down deep.

A couple of our rigs have straight 2# test Trilene XL as well. But I prefer the sensitivity of the fused braid, with the abrasion resistance of the fluorocarbon leader, over any straight mono or fluoro lines. JMO mind you! Whatever gives you the confidence you need to get the job done - that's what you should be using!

Not sure what brand rods Walt is using these days, but I'm a big fan of the B n' M lineup. And I really like to match these with the $6920 Pflueger President spinning reel too. Mine are 7' & 9' models.

Cheap Shakespere 6# for float fishing and Stren 4# for casting jigs.

Troll with 6lb hi vis and cast 1/32 and 1/16 with 4lb hi vis. I use a BPS store brand called Offshore Angler Tight Lines. 3200 plus yards of 4lb for about $8. Try it before you judge, very good line for the money. Stren Crappie in hi vis 2lb for the little stuff I use. Liked it best of 5 brands I tried.

6# Mr. Crappie Hi-Vis Yellow for me. Used to be I could see that clear line pretty good, not so much any more.

Power Pro 10/2 yellow with Seaguar flouro leader, Suffix 4 & 6 # hi vis or Trilene XL 4# CBF. As you see I'm still experimenting with stuff I have in inventory.

PP 10/2 yellow braid for vertical and casting. Strike the line with a black magic marker from the jig about 18 in. up. Stren Crappie 4 lb. for slip float. I use all my old heavy mono from my bass reels for spider rigging rods and 8 or 6 lb new mono for the leaders.
