My Son has produced a neat video of a recent trip he and I took and put it on YouTube. He is a past Mr. Crappie Classic winner and a full time crappie guide here in Arkansas. This is a technique that he has developed and used for several years successfully and it is deadly at any depth especially in 3 feet or less of water.

Thanks for sharing.
Great video! Gonna have to try that here in fla next month. Thank you for sharing.
Slabbandit, really appreciate the share of the technic. But really enjoyed the father and son video better. Didn’t know others has sons just like mine. You taught them all they know and now they act like they know more than you. What do they call that stuff, wisdom? Me and my son really have a lot of fun as you two do when we get a chance to go out fishing these days. Now he and his wife have given us three more boys and he and his 14 year old sounds just like us. Nothing like it!!!

I didn't realize there was a name for it. I've done this a little a few years ago, initially by accident (forgot to add a stopper) but it's not something I've invested a lot of time in. It's interesting to see someone using it a lot. Nice video!Quote:

Thanks for sharing this for all of us
I think it’s made by Millennium also. He said they are kinda pricy, about 60 bucks.Quote:

Thanks. Will definitely be giving it a try. Like the trash talking too. I have a couple buddies that it can get pretty bad with. :Rofl
So what is the benefit of the slip sinker versus just casting out and watching you jig fall on top of the fish or casting past them letting it drop to their depth and bringing it by them?
That should read slip float.
The advantage of this technique is the ultra slow presentation of the jig or jig/minnow combination although we mainly use jigs, Charlie Brewer Sliders, or my son’s creation the “Butt Ugly.”Quote:

The thing is to be slightly reeling away when they start after it. Triggers a strike reflex and you have the added benefit of the jig hook being turned towards the crappie insuring a positive hook up.

Thanks for the explanation. I thought it might have something to do with slowing it down a little. I'll give it a try. Thanks.
