11 foot jig pole, 15 lb braided line, crappie jig. If it is matted they have to swin n the holes. Find the holes, even small ones., lower the jig down into holes, down beside small bushes, etc. kinda like around the lily pads in Florids. Go slow, your trolling motor used correctly will NOT spook the crappie. Will find success.

The branded line is for getting you jig back as you will get stuck some.
