Fish all year long Cray, doesn't matter if it 105* or 5* out, if I get to go crappie fishing I go. I had never used spiderwire when it was that cold before, but the fish were in 35-40ft of water and hitting lite so i wanted the extra sensitivity over mono. I think I am a crappieholic, they say admitting is the first step. Iwas really hoping to of been ice fishing this weekend.
