I tie it on a coffee stirrer straw and then slide it onto my main line. The way I tie it, it stays put so I know exactly what level my jig is riding. It takes ten seconds to tie so if I need a drastic change, I'll retie it. Usually I fish in 10-12 feet of water. I set the stop knot at about 3 feet. Crappies are always looking up to feed and that is a great starting point to start fishing at. You DO NOT want to be fishing below them.

If you are fishing deeper water, set your stop at about 1/3 of the water column as a general rule. That is just my 2 cents worth.

Hey thanks Shipahoy
so i must have tied it right after all the way it sounds. I allways tie mine so i can move it, if i want to.
Kind of interesting that you can get the crappie to come up that far to take the jig. If i am fishing out of a boat, and can see the fish on the depth finder, i try to keep to jig a foot or so above them. THANKS AGAIN

If you are fishing 10 feet of water and the brush piles are sitting 3 feet off the bottom then the fish are only traveling 3.5 feet to get to your offering. That is not far.

They look up and see my jig and say ..............."There's Shipahoy41. It is an honor to be in the same boat as him. Get out of my way....I'm headed for Lake Crisco."

Yeppir................that's what I heard the last one say too.
