    Default Tip time


    I had an in length discussion last night with Sk about a few things and one that was on the list was jig weights and sizes .
    Many times when I visit the water and try to ketch crappie I employ movements horizontally and diagonally to get strikes . Keep in mind there are times a crappie just wont follow or take a moving along bait ,BUT ......
    Quite often if it appears injured or hapless or trying to escape it induces a good solid bite . This said one of the key factors in the scenario is cadence and fall rate . Long casts and retrieves require you to have a certain speed and depth most of the time to be in the strike zone of the fish .
    This is true over and over even if you use a float while doing it . The jig weight must be in accordance with your line weight to achieve the speed and depths required to get lots of bites .
    I often change my presentations up and sometimes for fun I do it drastically . I have tried heavy baits and really light baits and lots of them that are in between .
    So remember this tip when you hit the water and want to cast or pitch .
    To light wont stay down well and to heavy will stay to much down . There is always a certain weight that is just right and even jig design and shape has play in this as well .
    It isnt an accident most of the time to ketch crappie frequently and tuning your baits weight to your retrieve speed and line weight is typically critical .
    hope this helps you load the box and ...

    quite often it boggles my mind the smallest detail or difference in a bait or a presentation of the bait can make all the difference in the end result .
