Thread: Pulling Jigs

See this thread on here. http://www.crappie.com/crappie/south...ing-questions/

After doing it awhile, you will learn quickly that all the variables involved (boat speed, length of line out, weight of lure, ability to interpret sonar, etc.) make a huge difference in your success.
I suggest you start with 1/16 oz jig/grub combo at 1mph with a full cast behind the boat. That will put you in the 6-7 foot deep range from my experience. If the fish are deeper, go heavier, longer, slower. If shallower just the opposite. ALWAYS troll over the fish. Never under.
Practice makes you better, never perfect!

I hope this helps you get started.

I usually pull 1/8 just because I know about what depth they are running at different speeds. I love roadrunners or ponyheads, but still pull a lot of just plain old round head jigs. I like curly tails best. The arkie little fishes are very good in yellow and white. The bobby garlands and the mr. crappies are all also good. I like pink, orange, green and white and combos of these, but have probably 100 colors. I put out 8 rods -outside 16 footers, next 12 footers, next 8 footers and two 4 footers next to motor. Place rod tips right off water. One full cast and place in rod holders (I use spyder loks -best out there). I pull from about 1 mph down to .6 mph depending on what depth I am marking fish. Then just hang on.
