Size 10 gold hook for the crappie..hook through both lips carefully..they must be alive..try to find the depth of the water..fish the minnow about 2 foot off the bottom..


Carolina rig...with nothing on your line...

Slide a 1/4 ounce slip sinker ..forget the name..this is not a bullet sinker...

then tie a barrel swivel on...

then tie on your leader..can be aabout 30 inches of 12 pound monofilament..

and attach a 3/0 worm hook..

your set..


OR as I was saying...use a BB split shot as a Texas rig..if you figure your bass are suspended ..simply slide your BB shot up ..anywhere from 18 inches to 30 inches..this acts like a Carolina Rig..the bass don't know the differnce..Actually 30 inches is a little far for me..I generally go about 18 inches. If that doesn't work..slide your BB split shot back down and your back to Texas Rig.
