I'm curious how this wood choppin vertical jiggin technique is so popular with beginners. I by no means am trying to poke fun at anyone, or make myself out to be the next crappie hero but I just don't get it. I was blessed to have someone take me under there wing while I was young and teach me how to chase these critters.

But seems like every time I go out I see atleast one person going up and down as fast as they can given all they got and it just makes me cringe. It just seems to me if u new nothing that's exactly what u would do ... Nothing just hold it there. How does this choppin wood method keep getting passed down? I never say nothing to them for fear of sounding like a no it all, but question if I should. Maybe they would like help but affraid to ask. Anyone else see a bunch of this or is it possibly just my area.
