I have been having great luck using both. Watch

I also try different ways using the jig that are most popular among the TFF crowd. What I like best about the whole way of doing it, is to be able to quickly re-rig after losing a rig to the many hazards of crappie fishing. This alone has saved me so much time. I use to spend 70% of my time re-rigging, this has cut that down to just about nill, depending on how long it takes me to get a new rig out of the package without it tangling up. Plus making them helps fill in my time at the house, giving me something to do besides sit here and read how others are catching them on TFF. Hope this helps someone.
