Is my setup ok?

Just not necessary, IMO. Tipping the jig with a small piece of worm is more than enough.

I agree

Also, any "powder" scent would be immediately erased once the bait entered the water. Even oil based sprays/rubs will release from the bait shortly after entering the water.

If you "really really" want to add scent to your plastics, put them in a ziplock bag with a few drops of Anise Oil and the contents of one fish oil capsule .... work the oils around over all the plastic bodies ... then let them sit for a week or so. They "might" take in some of the "scent" of those oils, unless the oils in the plastic prevent them from doing so.

I have some "scent discs" that Slab produces, called Gewbers, but have never tried them. Many that have say they work. http://www.crappie.com/crappie/gewbe...eedback-forum/

Thanks! Any luck fishing with dough (flour, water, and a hint of garlic powder) to tip the hook? Worms aren't always in season.

Worms aren't always in season.

Then I would use a Berkley crappie nibble or some type of Gulp worm.

I got that. Any place to buy some cheap but good worms for fishing? I need them for the Fisheries Sciences Seminar.

Yes, soak your garden or yard for a couple of hours and wait for them to come to the surface. All the worms you can pick.

This is what I just bought. It was from BPS.. I put 6lb hi-vis line on it.

Hard to tell based on the picture, what are the spec on the rod and reel?
Rod-Length, action, line weight, lure weight?
Reel- line capacity (min and max). Should be something along the lines of 2/240-6/180 (2 pound/240yards, 6 pounds/ 180 yards).
