Guys, out there, I live in Idaho out west and have never Heard of a JIG POLE Ten and Eleven feeet long. I use a 7 foot noodle Rod, with 4 or six pound test Trilene line. You guys please explain how you fish such a long pole and whats the object of using such a long pole. Remember I live out west and we are still having problems with Indians.

Don't worry....once you get the current situation resolved, you can turn your attention to running water and indoor toilets:D

I must be the odball Ilove nightstalking with minnow and jigs.

Oh yeah....my tightlining responce earlier goes along with nightstalking:D

i like tightlining deep water struture

[Fred in Ky]

it would be swimming a jig, as in casting out and very slowly reeling back in. Single jig - weedless jighead/plastic body. Watching for the line tic, or waiting for the "thump".
Second would be shooting docks.
Third would be Vertical Casting.

These aren't the ways I've caught the biggest Crappie that I've ever caught, but they're the ways I've caught most of what I've caught over the last 20+ years

What he said ^^^^^^^^.........I love to cast and swim a jig or just let it fall slowly back to me. I love the THUMP. :D

My absolute favorite is jigging around cut grass and stumps in shallow water during the spawn. Alot of folks stay out on ledges catching the larger females, but I love the action of the males when they're up shallow in the beds! I just call it jig pole fishing, but guess that's what you guys are calling tightlining.

11' of rod 9' of line a hedge tree sunk in 8' of water and 14-15" of crappie.

I love the night. Less boats less people more fish.

I have yet to try it at night, but me and a couple friends have been talking about it. One of them has a floating light, so hopefully we'll try it soon

I pretty much always cast a beetlespin or cast and retrieve a jig with a lift and fall motion, I love feeling the thump when they hit. I also love catching them on my flyrod.
