I just wondering how many one pole crappie fisherman as a preference are there? I am not saying other ways are better or lesser I have done just about them all. There is something about for me the contact with the rod handle in hand with line pinched between fingers and the contact with the crappie on the other end on the hook that excites me and never gets old. Like to know who fishes this way in Lake Wylie or other lakes in Carolina. This is not about which is better but who else loves to fish this way.
