I prefer 6lb test. SOS line from crappie magnet.com with a 18" floracarbon leader in
4lb test for jigs or a single hook gold Eagle
Claw 1/0 crappie hook . I also put a loop Knott
On all my jigs for a more active presentation
along with a slight upward bend on the hook
for easier hook set . You may hang up more
In heavy cover but it will increase your
ability to set the hook when they are biting
soft = more fish for tournament or table !
Hope that helps, Good luck and God bless !

I do seminars for Crappie fishing and Trout
Fishing . I am an avid Crappie fisherman with over Sixty years experience . I love talking to
and with fishermen of all ages and backgrounds.
