I perfer about a 10' graph. rod and spinnin reel...6 lb test monofiliment ...1/16" oz Jigs...and any colors as long as Chartruse is the back half color. Black/Char, Red/Char, Green/Char, Plain Char only works wonders...are the basics I use...many other people will say different though. Vary the jigs in your box...1/32 oz also...This rod a reel setup can be used to tight line jig fish...or you can flip it...or just make a whip cast....snap on bobbers work well....easy on ...easy off as needed when flippin along banks and slow retrieve.

Fish Gold Creek up the way to pond and along channel edges. On Conway also...Greens lake is good around the cypress trees close to boat lanes right now.

Alaways fish SLOW for crappie....and easy setting hooks...just a flip of the wrist. Drop jig slow and hold it for a few seconds...then dip down once or twice...pull out...work it over.

that's my 2 cents...for what its worth.
