and for several trips fishing this

spring with 2oz weights while
the water temp is still favorable

and the fish are still in the fairly

deeper in there summer pattern
I transition to 3oz weights to get
down to where the fish are
staging and to keep my lines

more vertical while running up
to 1.4 mph.”

Smith continues, “Fall fishing I
transition back to either 2oz or
1oz weights when the fish move
shallower and slow down to
around .7. Smith says, “My lure

of choice is the Crappie Magnet
Fin Spin Jig Heads. The fin spin
bade will spin as slow as .3 miles
and hr whether you are power
trolling or long lining. The
concave head shape makes it
