Crappie Brother's & Sister's.... Let's get some UnLikeU Crappie Shenanigan Chatter going...
*No matter your state or country.
*No matter your weather or temp.
*No matter if you are fishing shallow or deep.
*No matter if you are Open Water, or Fishing Structure.
What is your ideal Pegged Crappie Weight Size? I toggle between a tad bit over 1/16th oz & 1/8th oz above my jig. I've heard of Pro's using 1/4th oz & 1/2 oz in shallow water like clock work but that doesn't fit my fishing skillz. . Sound off on yours or don't sound off.. I'm still going to boat me a limit tomorrow 10-8-23 when I go regardless. I just need to talk about fishing because it's driving me nutz not being able to go right now.

Oh 1 lb crappie eat mighty fine! I use 1/32 or 1/16th jigheads with no addl. weight.

My go to is 1/48oz and 1/64oz jigheads size 8 hooks for dock shooting. I’ve noticed it’s not a common size but it works good for my area.

Got it Buckeye you don't pegg any weight & only use your jig head. Understood... Every person's style is different that's what makes fishing fun. When fishing 1mph - 5mph under 10foot I will go with no weight also, but I've found when you are fishing & stumble across that OPEN ROAMING HAWG dat Pegged weight helps get that bait to the fish faster before she swims away. Just a preference.

Got it TBass89 & I understand. So you too are not using a Pegged Weight System. You and Ole Buckeye are just using the weight from the Jig Head only. It's a different gear set up.
I didn't realize people would be thrown to not understand what Pegged Weight Setup was for Crappie. So my fault.. Here is a guy who has won a bunch of money Crappie Fishing that may give you a better understanding through showing ya. You can Click Hayden Jeffries' Go-To Rig Setup For Crappie Tournaments - YouTube He will show ya... Keep catching Slabs...
I’m not a jig troller just single poler or “polar” here up north.

Buckeye ALL I DO IS SINGLE POLE.. I aint trolling missing out on DAT THUMP!!!!!! The weight above just helps get the jig down there faster for us is all. I have a bunch of poles so when I hang up I just jump to the next rigged up one. I wouldn't know how to Troll for Crappie. I would starve to death if I had to do that.
