1/4oz jig head with slip float for crappie fishing
I am thinking to try 1/4 Oz jig with slip float and plastic lure for crappie fishing. Use heave 1/4oz rig head is to 1). Allow jig quickly sink to the depth;2) allow jighead remains in the target depth when I retrieve or twitch line.
This application is for fishing 6 feet or deeper and for the location difficult to access to right above it or fishing from the bank.
What are your thoughts on this setup? Suggestions for method and jighead source?
Thanks!

Fill sink with water, set float in water. See how it sits then from there you can change floats and jigs around until your happy with the way they sit. I slide a plastic bead on line between jig and float to keep float from sticking on knot. For bank fishing they way you describe your situation that’s about best set up. I think 1/4 is a little on heavy side but current is really going to dictate what you need. Like others said the smaller you can get by with the better. Crappie for the most part go for smaller size baits. That’s main reason d4d suggested split shot above small jig. Still have the weight to cast and control but smaller presentation.
Thanks for the comments.

This video shows the situation in spill water. I was able to use jig to catch some crappies, but a guy he use (10’m30”s) slip float was able to catch a limit ( I am in Texas), especially when other cannot catch any more!!. There is relatively strong flow. I have a hard time to reach and maintain over the fish hole. But he was able to with slip float and heavy rig.
