10lb brush busting slab jerking Mr Crappie Hi Vis for me...not none of that puny sissified 6-lb stuff...DK...I proud you gonna graduate and all but you missed some education somewhere on crappie fishing...lol.

If the only place I was going to was pull were the Big 4 I would use mono in the 8-12 pound range. But if you pull wrer there is standing timber you better go with braid or have a deep wallet for buying crankbaits. I have only pulled on Sardis about 5 or 6 times and got hung once. There are days on my home lake of Greers Ferry that I may get hung a dozen times so I use braid.

all we have is trees. That and you'll go from 30 FOW to 8 FOW real quick sometimes and bouncing off the bottom a good bit will fray the line and you'll lose cranks that way. Braid is the only way for me

I have always used 20# braid. Its the same diameter as 6lb mono and if you fish any of these lakes with stumps you will almost always get your bait back. Gar will have a hard time breaking braid.

Chotard was the first time I dealt with them. They are fun but good god man, over 40 of them in one day got old

watch out maj. talk like that wb will put you on KP
