Suffix 65 pound braid on a 7'6" heavy pole with a 1 oz Black Angel football head jig with a 4 in chigger crawl trailor. You can feel everything When you set the hook, will you just get a set of lips? A little overkill for crappie don't ya think?  Thanks guys for all the various answers. I can see all sides of the issue. Sounds like some braid with a floro leader would work great, just like for bass fishing (as quoted above)

I got around that lack of feel issue when I switched to Dobyns Rods.
Steve Add Fireline and you'll really start to feel things! I have tried it twice, the last time was for several months side by side with the P-Line. Just don't care for the way it feels coming thru the guides and having to mess with a leader. Steve

Just picked up some 10 lb Sufix stretch braid on sale at Academy. 150 yards for $4.88. Going to give it a try, never used it before. Looks and feels like normal braid with 4lb mono equivalent diameter. Says it gives 6% stretch for cushioning.
