Hey NavyAngler, the best advice I can give you is to do something like I did, I set in a chair while watching TV and sat a chair with a low crossbar at bottom and put it on other side of room and shot at it until I could get under it good which will not take long at all. I use a 1/32 jig and put a grub on it and cut the point half off.If using a grub with head bare then grab head to shoot but if using tube with head in it then grab by hook, the reason for grabbing hook is when you shoot a tube with hook inside it then the pressure of holding tube will tear the jig up quick unless you are fishing where the bait get hung up a lot and lose them quick ,LOL. Also a 1/32 jig will not hang as easy as a 1/16 in shallow as it will stay near top while slowly reeling, I also found this to be a general rule to start with each dock to let bait only drop 1/2 of the dept you are shooting in then adjust as nessesary. On TV the pro,s let it fall to baton then wind which is crazy even if they say it, more hang ups and the crappie almost always come up under a bait to sneak up on it and attack ,whereas a bass will chase down his prey, just think of a crappie like a cat and a bass like a wolf, ad serve your prey
