I've never tried it but I have the opinion that it would be a waste of time if much current exists. Crappie stay away from current and are usually found on the down stream side of any current blocker. This presents more of a jigging or float and jig situation. Their habitat in current areas would be difficult to fish any other way. Like I said...just my opinion.
