I still refuse to understand what or why there is a problem using a rig like this. For you crappie novices, there was once a rig called a "Christmas Tree" that was used religeously at Eagle Lake for many years. We would talk 8-10 different colored jigs and tie them to our line about 6" apart. We "trolled" with these rigs and caught lots of crappie. No one ever said this way was wrong. What was wrong was the local folks catching their 50 slabs and going home and coming back with an empty cooler for another 50. Now, what's the problem here?
