when they get shallow in the spring its about all I use anymore. mostly catch and release...standard olive wooly bugger but Ill tie em in other typical Truman color...chart/blue/black, etc. caught my personal best Truman 15 1/2" crappie as well as a ton of huge carp, bass etc.
9' 5wt can be a little light at times but for crappie its great. I hunt fish and shoot all over the place, but this is one of my greatest joys....little overcast, water in 60's, watching that bugger slink over cover in a foot or 2 of water is mesmerizing...
