If you fish this area a lot I would say this rules out braid. Braid is my favorite but abrasion is its weakness couple time just touch rock snap that quick too touchsnap as quick as you can say it.

Oh I get you now like going to a fight and a hockey game broke out.
A couple of people have mentioned that pike is pretty tasty but Ive never tried it.

No sure if I follow your question. In the same spot 2 days prior I caught a pike and few days before that hooked into one 40' up the shoreline that cut me off so just hitting the area again. About an...

Nope, thats my first/only crappie on a lipless crank.

Any chance you know the color? Mine is Blue Chrome.

THANKS ALL
I went back out today thinking lightning might strike twice but no such luck, just bass.

Was out throwing for Pike well this one must have been hungry. 16" 2#2oz my best crappie ever. Fought very well really had no idea what it was until about a foot from shore then OMG :yikes realized...

I like it use PP for 10years went to S8S on my rods start of the year and very much like the product most likely wont get reg PP again.

I caught mine with 8' ML Mod rod 10# powerpro. Off the bottom of 20' water nightcrawlers. I went no sinkers but if need be use a splitshot like 1/8th oz but conditions will dictate that.

I know I read here about a person used a Bitsy Minnow with a bobber with great success.

Strength- Power Pro Super8Slick
Castability- Nanofil

Overall got to give it to PPS8S though now that I have a knot that holds and confident in Nano just got very close to surpassing PP. I use...

I still have an "FI". Like you just handled J's in store. They seem to have less turn effort that I noticed thats all I can add.

Im still here and still have the Stradic though the 3rd one(returned 2 1st couple weeks). Its been a pretty good reel glad I didnt pay full price it make a little bit of noise like the others did not...

I 2nd this. I too have a stradic1000fi(actually had 3) then I bought a Pfl SupremeXT then a President then another SupremeXT. No way would I pay full price again for a Stradic. The Presidents are...

Pflueger Micro President, 2 Supreme XT's,1806 underspin; Daiwa underspin; Zebco underspin; Shimano Stradic 1000 PPbraid works great on all of them.The new Super 8 Slick is just that SUPER & SLICK I...

AWESOME catch congrats on your PB :Hands Clapping That is bigger than most bass I catch.

From Cold-water crappie fishing in northeaster Kansas

"Dave Schmidtlein of Topeka was a member of that cadre of expert crappie anglers during those incredible heydays, and to this day he is at the...

Very very minimally compare to mono though. The only instance I can think of personnally would be in-line spinner with no swivel. Ive fished pratically all other type lures/presentations and havent...

I go after gills and bass. Times I go for gills like little 3" ones and then hook it on another set-up toss out and catch a bass.

I read a lot of coments about not liking bass fishing cause of...

All this goofing around with how the line goes on and whatnot is why I now use braid and leave the coiling twisting line memory issues behind.

Well with braid you get much more sensitivity than mono no doubt. Ive went from one to the other on a few set-ups (st croix avid,premiers) To me XL is dead compared to the braids I have used. I have...

Ahh the money I have saved after fixing/doing what I had in mind even after being told this. Most recent I broke the lcd screen on my Canon camera went to a number of shops saying I wanted to fix it...

The bitsy minnow is a great little crank. I call it my "Boil Buster" when fish are hitting on top I toss to that spot and catch'em quite often.

When first used it 6# not wowed but the lined grew on me and now like it rather well. I had knot slip once lost fish (catfish) in thick weeds. The sensitivity is very good on tightline. I like the...

If its the penn battle 3000 that I just googled, its not small at all like 11oz thats huge for crappie fishing. Yeah ML probably not any lighter. Go loong for the rod and that extra weight will help...

4'6" UL Mod Its a bit whippy for piont on accuracy Ive had some mis-directions that got me snagged

Well I have a STCroix Premier UL & medhvy I think the panfish series is based off that same SCII blank. I have an 8'ML Avid with SCIII blank and there is a very noticeable difference in sensitivity...

My casting rods have hook holders dont know why yours dont. I dont use them though cause the hook scratches the rod.
See near center of picture. Oh yeah just got the Curado 50E AWESOME.

The record Illinois crappie 4.52# came out of a small farm pond
