I'm looking into ordering another Aldeberan BFS to build a finesse crappie setup. Anyone using baitcasters for crappie?

I bought the Kastking Zephyr. I intend to use it for all panfishing. I haven’t tried it yet, plan on heading out to my favorite pond this weekend and give it a whirl.Quote:

Hi texican89, although i haven't caught a crappie just yet, only fishing from bank, I love using my Shimano BFS conquest pair with either customized 5' berkley lightning rod or the Asian Kuying teton 6 foot casting UL rod and have great success catching gills and even catfish casting down to 1/8 oz. Cheers!Quote:

I haven’t fish for crappies with them . Mostly bass with ultralight rods , 6# P-line and 1/16 beetlespins .
Since my discovery of the drop shot , I can see myself trying to catch a few bluegills with my BFS outfits .
Gillchaser, drop shot is one of my go to rig as a shore angler especially for heavier weights for distance. Under 2 grams jighead bouncing then I'll go with UL or even Xul JDM rod for that. Cheers!Quote:

Adaptations of other drop-shot like rigs could be used too, depending on the situation - Gika rig, Tokyo rig, or the Scrappy-Doo Rig as shown in the video below. Seems these would be good for fishing close to the bottom.

I think you will find this article interesting. Fair warning, hanging out at this website has caused me to spend WAY more that I should have on tackle.
