Crappie Fishing Basics
The crappie is a excellent fish to taget for the beginner angler. It doesn't take long to get hooked on fishing for these fish.You can catch these little critters in any season. If you
get into a big crappie school you will be amazed at how many fish you can catch in a very short period of time. You donot need a boat or any exspensive fishing tackle to start fishing for crappie. You can get started fishing for under 200$. Please use any of our crappie fishing basics information at your leasure, and we hope this information will be helpful on your next crappie fishing trip.There are two types of crappie the "black crappie" and the "white crappie" Please visit my crappie habitat page by clicking here after reading this article to get all the details of the crappies habitat..
The first thing you will need is the proper crappie fishing tackle. I
recomend you purchase a fly rod and and a ultra
light reel . The picture above is the crappie flyrod and reel combo I use. Make
sure the flyrod is at least 8ft in length. With a trigger spin zebo ultralight real .
Here's a good combo that is sold commercially.
 B'n'M Buck's Custom Crappie Rod $ 49.99
This rod is made from the same blanks as our famous BGJP Series, but with a bottom mounted, fixed reel seat and a Portuguese cork handle. The bottom mounted reel seat adds superior balance, and you utilize the full length of the rod. This is a true "blank through handle" design. Made of 96% Tubular graphite. Click to Buy

Click to Buy
If you want to get serious about crappie fishing with
artificials jigs you will need a good crappie pole and a flyrod combo is a good start. You can also
You can also purchase these outfits at any major sporting goods or department store.
After you purchase your flyrod combo , remove the
fly reel and replace it with the spin cast reel.
Remove the exsisting line for the spin cast reel and
replace it with a quality line like cajun line. Make
sure when you purchase 6lb test. My preference is
cajun red because it is almost invisable under
water.
 
Feed your line through the eyelets in your rod fist. You will want to use a arbor knot to tie your line to the inside of your reel.
click here for a excellent animated example of how to tie this knot.
Now it's time for your tackle selection. Crappie fishing basics always should include a sellection of crappie fishing jigs. You will need to purchase some crappie bobbers like the on the picture ans an assortment of crappie jigs.
When you start your search for crappie jigs here's a few pointers to keep in mind. There are several different types of crappie jigs you want to purchase. And yes size does mater when making the selection. I recommend you purchase only 1/64oz and 1/32oz size jigs.
you can buy jigs seperate or you can buy jigs with plastics. When you are fist starting I recommend you purchase jigs already assembled as shown. look for curly tails,that have
the jig heads already painted. Jigs with a eye painted on them are a good selection.
The Next thing you will want to do is slide the line through the crappie bobber the round end first. Slide the boober up the line about 13 inches. Next Slide one of your jigs up the line about just below the bobber, then tie it in place. Now tie another jig on the end of the line. You can vary this set up. If the distance shown doesn't work remove one jig and adust the bobber down. now you are all set to go fishing.
