On my lake in the heart of summer, crappie bites are a lot of times so light that even on the 7'3" Eradicator with Varvais braid with a short fouro leader, I don't feel anything when a crappie takes the jig, then very quickly spits it back out. It amazes me how many times I can set the hook based on what I'm seeing on livescope and he's on, though I felt nothing. Kind of mind boggling at how many fish have had my jig in their mouth over the years, that I had no idea. Scott
