Sometimes by choice . Sometimes for other reasons.
One must learn to do without.
Keep in mind this about that , learning to do without will quite possibly make you better at something that needs to be accomplished with a less than full bag of tricks.
Had a discussion yesterday with someone who was surprised by how much another person had invested in a 3,000 dollar boat .
The boat owner had 10,000 in electroctronics added to his rig ! :yikes
So fast forward to the task at hand , ketchn crappie.
Ketchn lots of crappie can be a mindset thing and learning to adjust to what you do NOT have in your arsenal.
Sent a buddy with LS to a spot the other day and he flat out hammered a pile of nice ones pretty quickly. Sent another buddy to that spot and he did well too.
Second buddy did not have LS but still left with a pile of nice ones as well.
So keep in mind how it all works, a farm truck won't compete on the road well in speed with a Ferrari, but it will likely get you to the same location.
Here in lies the moral to this story , crappie ketchn has been around a good while and you can do without and still ketch piles of them.
Knowing how they operate and where they are and with nothing more than a jig on a rod and the want to succeed at it, will often times lead to piles of crappie.
Just a quick FYI out to those that think they have to do "with " ...:highfive
KABOOM is the word off the dock on my lunch break doing without....:biggrin
