Fantastic day on Oologah! Every where I tried, I caught fish. In the brush, suspended, 13' - 18'. I gave the 10' Huckabee Dipping rod a serious workout today landing at least 150 fish. The sensitivity of the rod is amazing. Any yes, I have it strung with 12# Bonehead Braid and never had a problem. I was able to save a lot of jigs with the strength of the braid and just rebending the hook back into shape after retrieval. The Huckabee Dipping rod survived because I never put heavy pressure on it when hung up. I really need to everntually get nothing but the Huckabee Rods in the boat. Every little tick from a Crappie no matter how light it was, I could feel it. Thanks Ken!

I ALWAYS make sure the braid in NOT wrapped aroung the tip, then crank down pointing the rod tip at the hung bait. Then I wrap the line around my reel handle about three times and pull inline without stressing the rod. The jig is going to straighten out and pull off the brush, or the line is going to break. It's that simple folks.

I kept a limit of 37 that went 10-12". I caught nothing big, but at times, I was catching a fish each time the line hit 13', and that was probably in an area that covered over a 75' circle!

What an absolutely beautiful day God gave us! I'm happy I was able to launch the boat, finding the fish biting like they did was very nice seeing how Oologah has really been slow for quite sometime.

I used Crappie Reaper jigs from 1/16 to 1/4 and color didn't mater.
