What's your favorite piece of crappie equipment/Whatever it might be...Here's mine

The USS Shelly Ann, named after my wife, A 15 foot Wareagle which has been doing battle over 10 years now on Lake Conway. I love this boat above all other things I own in Crappie Fishing.

I been wondering how an umbrella would work single poling. Ill have one if it works!

If an umbrella will make me catch fish like crappie pro and dblevens, I'll try one.

I like my 542. Perfect size for one person. With 2 people, it can be crowded at times. Especially if the other person is catching all the fish:biggrin

THAT looks like the perfect Lake Conway boat.

They work great DB... but remember to watch for wasp nest if your fishing trees. Wasp dont like a umbrella bumping into thier tree limb too much. Trust me I know. LOL

Besides my Stick Steering boat I would have to say my Maximizer. With it, I can slow my trolling motor so slow I can be super stealthy in shallow brushpiles. If there are a few that have never seen one of these they were produced by Minn-Kota over 20 years ago and sold then for 100.00 at Bass Pro. With this any trolling motor could be made into an infinite speed control. There are still a few available now and then on E-Bay some still new in the box.

WOW!!! thats a kool looking piece of machinery SB. Never seen one before.

Thanks CP, I have found 2 over the years still brand new in the box on E-Bay. They have been out of production for over 20 years now. We found CrappieKeeper a new one for his boat back in '07 or '08 and we just won another "new in the box" one the other day as a back-up to either one of ours. If you can find a new one now expect to pay between 125.00 and 150.00 for it. Seen a lot of used ones that don't look to bad either

My understanding was that the new trolling motors have that built in.

I would hate to give up my Terrova I-Pilot
