When wade fishing for crappie, I like the shorter 9 foot rods. Easier to manage in the flooded buckbrush. I also like the middle sized spinning reels as I like to attach a small cork and turn around and cast out towards the lake too to check for staging fish. Also, if my drag is set right, I can fish with a foot or 2 of line out but reach up and strip a few more feet to make landing a slab easier. Haven't done it in a few years but would really look forward to the spawn each year to go wade fishing!
Where at on the Buffalo?
I assume you are going after small mouth?
I always use green or brown Zoom speed craws with 1/8th jig head.

Fly,,,listen to Nimrod,,,,he’s a fishing legend there,,,usually fills his boat each and every time out…
When I've fished the Buffalo River for small mouth we did the best with small craw dad crankbaits.
yep, you are right!

There used to be a plastic worm called a salty sensation that had little arms and a tail that fluttered - it would catch em too. I caught a 5-2 in the big piney on one years ago.
Creekslicks or hellgrammites.
