I like an ultralite rod.We had a bunch of minnows under our lights at we started catching crappie and stripe at 14 and 18 feet.The limit on Weiss Lake is thirty crappie that have to be 10 inches or more to keep.We caught 21 keepers.The biggest one was fourteen inches,my uncle had one that was huge but it broke the hook not the 6 lb line.If you want any information on Weiss Lake E mail me at [email protected] .
