''It’s important to keep an open mind when crappie fishing. They’re finicky; you never know what will work until you get out there. There are some exciting techniques in use today that can load the boat—like tightlining, spider rigging and spread trolling—but you need good quality, specialized gear to make ’em work. If that’s what you’re looking for, you’ve come to the right place!''
