I love it too! It's a great way to cover some water. I like the jig/float combo over a straight jig when casting up next to cover because it allows me to keep the jig suspended in/near the cover I'm trying to target. I don't have to steadily retrieve the jig to keep it from sinking and hanging up. I can let it sit there and work it slowly in the "fish zone" longer than I could without the float.
one of crappie guru's on T hill does that from high up on rip rap, keeps popping it closer to bank than anyone else on bank and that's where most fish from but farther out over brushpiles.
He is one of the best on that lake and it works.
Thanks for all the tips. I'm going to have to give it a try. I usually work the open water and by this time I head over to the coast for some shrimping action. ( it seems to running late this year) I'm still working the open water, but the action is starting to slow a little.
Check out crappie magnet site and their infomercial videos. Those baits and Baits are what really got me into crappie Fishing. They have jigs baits and bobbers. Also the trout sizes work well when there are picky. I also use their bobbers with other baits too
I bought a dozen 3/4" foam floats to give it a try this spring.
I have been fishing with guys for which it is their preferred technique. I have always preferred cast and retrieve because I like the feel of the fish inhaling the jig. Last year however I fished a few spots that were just tangles of roots and debris that I got hung up constantly in.
I like to run a double rig with the 3/4 in bobbers. 2 1/16oz jigs about 12-16 inches apart.
