Here's my favorite stuff.....1/16 oz bullet heads, 1/16 oz round painted heads (bought on eBay), #4 sickle hooks, Bobby Garland baby shad, Kalin's Triple Threat shad, Crappie Magnets. I use 6 lb. line on my casting rods and 10 lb. line on my BnM jig pole for vertical jigging. I like Mr. Crappie camouflage line, but my dad likes the yellow line. Good luck. GTT
