I use the 2" Lil Wasshoppah. I have a 11' rod just laying across the boat and a 4'6" rod in a rod holder with them. I only cast with the Money jig. I have caught crappie casting wasshoppah's but I pretty much just use them for vertical fishing. I generally don't work the two poles with Wasshoppah's, I just move around very slowly with them. Every now and then I will hold a pole in my hand and work the jig into structure.
