Have to laugh a little bit when I see this high tech line everybody is using to catch a crappie. Think back a few weeks ago to a strike king show that featured Wally Marshal and he was talking about the high vis fishin line and people saying the crappie would see it. He made the comment his momma used to set on the bank at lake Quachita in Arkansas and catch big slabs using 80 lb black twill line. Didn't say what rod but I would bet on a cane pole. The braid is great but if I had a dollar for every crappie caught using 6 lb mono I would probably be out spit shinin my big Ranger boat instead of kickin the trailer tires on my old aluminum deep v and just making sure it has gas LOL
