Any of the three would probably work, I'd just use 6lb test if it was me.Originally Posted by parfume4
I've Vertical Cast in 30fow on the ends of blowdowns, with 1/16oz jigs & Panfish Assassins on 4lb test ... felt the thump and came away with fish. Only reason I use 6lb test now is I have my custom made weedless jigheads with a #2 Aberdeen hook ... and 4lb test don't always pull the hook open when I'm snagged, it just breaks too often.

do I understand you to say that you have your sonar unit set to fish id? If so turn the fish id off and use the unit in the sonar mode only. I fish bridges often and have found that fish do see color differences at those depths in my opinion. I almost always use 2 lures usually with a 1/4 oz spoon on the bottom and a 1/32 oz tube above it. I catch a lot of fish on the spoon and the weight of the spoon will help you detect bites on the jig.

Thanks for the comments. I guess I am new to crappie fishing. First time to hear spoon fishing for crappie. What type of spoon do you use?
I am also wondering how the weight of spoon help detect bait.

The line is held tighter so it transmits vibration better.
This is is for deeper water. I have a different one I use under 12'

We use similar spoon for white bass fishing.
I guess you use different color for different depth.

This is off of the 1/4 oz mold. I use them down to 65'. Just jig in much smaller motions and you will get crappie.
