I have spent thousands on crappie equipment, sonars, pole holders, Ect. I keep 21 poles on my boat. I spyder fish, long line troll, crank baits ~& jigs. I have spent thousands on equipment and on and on. In the end, I catch more fish & bigger fish, jigging with one pole straight down. I have caught thousands with all the methods, but in the end, give me one pole & the THUMP!
