In the original question, I mentioned .8 but that does seem fast for deep winter crappie.
In your opinion, if I see fish in the 12-'18' range, a good starting spread would 1oz C&C rigs with a mix of double minnow rigs and tipped 1/16th jigs try .5 mph and go down from there?
If I was seeing them at that depth I would start like that and slow down from there. In that water temp they might not be real aggressive but then could be. If you slow down from that try one pole with lighter weight.
