According to the article in Sunday's Democrat Gazette, crappie fishermen are spider rigging/slow trolling with them. He specifically said casting an Alabama Rig for crappie didn't work. He said that was the big difference between using them for bass and crappie. I was wondering where in the thunder he heard that from? Cause I definitely haven't heard anything of the sort, unless it's been mentioned in one of the other state forums I don't frequent. It said they worked better in oxbow lakes due to their lack of structure.
