Easy! We single pole fish 40-50 feet deep in 65-85 FOW winter time.

Absolutely !! I've single pole jigged 30ft deep with a 1/16oz jig & 4lb test mono .... and the only downside was having to wait for the jig to reach bottom :)
I was still able to detect the thump, even though I wasn't using as sensitive a rod as I do now.
If it should happen that the fish take a mind to drop down around or into that deep brushpile ... give this a read and try it sometime. Probably even be good when the fish are suspended well above the brush. Crappie Pappy Article
Water temp and depth of brush displayed, single pole and jig used!! My favorite way to fish.Quote:

Single pole? I'm guessing that's just using one rod? Never seen so many rod's out at one time till I got on here, didn't know people did that. In Oregon you can have out two max but you have to buy a permit for the second one!
Just found time to read the article! Very good !Quote:

one of the best techniques I have found on this site is to get your jig just above (when you feel it with jig ) the brush . Having a ultra-lite reel on a long pole begin reeling in at a rate so slow it is hard to measure . If they are suspended they will come unglued on it . I also use 1/100, 1/80, 1/64 jigs to get the stubborn ones that want hit a jig size 1/32 or 1/16 . The use of nibbles are used if the water is really clear .I think crappiepappy wrote the book on this called vertical jigging . He will chime in when he reads this .
Yeah, I call it Vertical Casting .... and the article link is already included in my previous reply.Quote:
