Cool New Technique to Try for Crappie

[Les Young]

Thanks. Will definitely be giving it a try. Like the trash talking too. I have a couple buddies that it can get pretty bad with.

So what is the benefit of the slip sinker versus just casting out and watching you jig fall on top of the fish or casting past them letting it drop to their depth and bringing it by them?

That should read slip float.

That should read slip float.

The advantage of this technique is the ultra slow presentation of the jig or jig/minnow combination although we mainly use jigs, Charlie Brewer Sliders, or my son’s creation the “Butt Ugly.”
With the slip float we can creep up to the fish and then stop reeling and drop down to just above them.
The thing is to be slightly reeling away when they start after it. Triggers a strike reflex and you have the added benefit of the jig hook being turned towards the crappie insuring a positive hook up.

Thanks for the explanation. I thought it might have something to do with slowing it down a little. I'll give it a try. Thanks.
