Got to the Drop Spot around Daylight. Started out with my normal Med lite Rod,4 lb Test, Slab Sauce.
After about 100 casts had 2 keeper crappie.Switched to my lite action Rod,2 lb Test G-Sauce Kaboom Game on left them biting kept a mess to eat,Keeping 10 to eat.Just to test the Lite action 2 lb Test. Switched back to the 4 lb Med lite nothing not a bite.Switch to the 2 lb test Berkely Vanish Kaboom.Game on.Just when you think you have these fish figured out.Not!!

Have not broke off any good crappie.But have lost some right at the Boat trying to be too careful.Fish in some real nasty stuff.Rocks,tree limbs Ect.

I see the rod in the picture a Nanoace is a med lite rod, is that correct? Guess I'm going to have to break down and give the slab sauce a try, lots of positive reviews on here from some very good fisherman.

On our clear water lakes Greers,Norfork,Bull Shoals,Except During the Spawn.This system is a must for catching crappie the Year around.
Had a local fishermen troll his shinner Right over the spot"Where I was casting"the sunkin buckets Did not catch a fish.On our lakes In Aug.The crappie will not hit a shinner Cannot explain it.They will hit a Rosey Red if,if you can find them!!
