Now all you need is a spool of 4# test line and an ultra-lite spinning reel and you're just in time for some shallow water crappie fishing fun.  the crappie experts should chime in shortly.

The pursuit (where are the fish), rigs design and setup, scouting, the awesome feeling of casting your rigs 100+ yards out, the total focus on the fish and the elements, the outdoors... the total exhaustion at the end of your fishing day,... the cooler full of fish to bring home... Yeah, I'm going to miss bank fishing!

Skip the hook. Just dynamite them out.

I prefer size 8 for sunfish because I go after ones about half the size of my palm to use as bait. When im fishing for big sunfish I use a size 6. As for crappie a 6 is way too small IMO but I dont fish for them often.
