Thanks so much for watching, Randy! I’m in love with Varivas Super Trout Advance line right now. It’s so good! Really adds another level of enjoyment to fishing.

Thank you so much! Yes! The Trout and Crappie Magnets are awesome lures.

Thank you so much!🙏🐟

@pistolcreek 👌🏼

Might have been a typo there? What was your question, again?

@ your newest videos I wanted to purchase some stickers and they are sold out was wandering when they were going to be available? Goodness I just looked at my typo, what type of Net are you using? LOL 😂 Thanks

No worries!😆 The net is a Frabil folding net from Walmart. They are about $17 here at my local store. Very good net and takes up less space. Thank you so much for checking the store out. I should have a restock ready very soon.

Thank you so much for watching! Happy New Year!

@@brythegeek Thanks so much!🙏🐟 The 6’ Presso 2-piece is a very, very good ultralight rod, in my opinion. It’s a bit on the softer side, much like the St. Croix Panfish Series. Ton of fun for a $70 rod.

@pistolcreek Thanks so much for your quick and thorough responses as always! Hope you have a great new year and I can't wait to watch all your videos!!🙌🏻 I'm going to pick a Presso up and give it a try!

@ Happy New Year!

Love the TCB. Yes… consider giving the Roo a spin. It’s a great crappie lure and just plain fun. Thanks so much for watching!

Thank you so much for watching! It must be next level cold up there.🥶 Do you guys have both black and white crappie in your area?

@ that we have both but mostly black. Not cold at all right now it’s raining. In a couple days it’s suppose to freeze. We are just across the river from Detroit

Seems like big shifts in temp always mess with the Crappie bite here.

Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to comment!🙏🐟

The Roo is a lot of fun. I just ordered the new Trout Magnet Trinity Series rod in the 5’ Ultralight. Got to try it out on a few trout so far and really like it. Very high quality craftsmanship it seems and beautiful.

Haha! A lot of echo under that marina roof. There was a lady sitting on back of a boat reading a book right across from me. I was trying not to disturb her too much. Thanks for watching!

Thanks so much for watching, Mat! I know what you mean about the marinas and docks. You see (and hear) some interesting things sometimes. Happy New Year, my friend.

I think you will like them! Happy New Year and thanks so much for watching!🙏🐟

Happy New Year, Victor! 3 smallies in one trip is a good day in my book.👌🐟

Thank you so much for watching, Ron! Would love to see what you caught at the crappie pond using the Roo and a float.

Thank you so much, Frank! 🙏🐟

The Hammer looks really cool! Bet that profile would do some serious damage on not only crappie, but creek bass as well if you fished it on a ned rig like you suggested. Thanks so much for watching!🙏🐟

Thank you so much for watching, Bryan. God bless.🙏🐟

Thank you so much for watching!🙏🐟

Thank you so much for watching, Scott! 🙏🐟 Hard to beat the TCB for versatility.

Thanks so much for watching FishJeeps! Appreciate your continued support of the channel. Happy New Year!🙏🐟

I think the color I was using in this video was Isom. All the colors it comes in should great for crappie. Thanks so much for watching!🙏🐟

Thanks so much for watching!

1.75”

@ thanks!

Thank you, Chris! The Roo paired with the Eye Hole Jig Head is like a “All-you-can-eat Brushpile Buffet for Crappie!😆

In my opinion, fish don’t care what type, style, or brand of gear you use. That goes for rods, reels, line, and even bait sometimes. The difference lies in the pleasure and enjoyment it gives you when you are using it. If you are outside catching fish and having fun, then whatever you are using is the perfect setup that day. That said, I think there is some amount of difference in the sensitivity and feel between a one piece and a two piece rod, due to the joint. This is even more noticeable on a 3 or 4 piece travel rod. If you enjoy ultralight fishing, I highly recommend trying at least one single piece rod just to see what you think about it. Every rod I own is a 2-piece, with the exception of my St. Croix Panfish Series 6’…. Which happens to be my current favorite. However, the 2-piece Daiwa Presso is very close in terms of fun for me, personally. It also costs half as much. I hear so many great things about the Ugly Stick rods and know people who swear by them. Sounds like you have put some serious mileage on that rod and it just might be your “lucky rod”. Do they make it in a one piece? If so, you will like it , I think. Thanks so much for watching!🙏🐟

@ thank you sir for your feedback and the reason I never thought of the one piece but the ease of two piece for travel. I will definitely check into it now and your response was absolutely brilliant if I’m having an amazing time in the water and making memories don’t sweat the small stuff!

Such a cool lure! If you enjoy float fishing, these are going to be lethal. I plan on using them with a float more in Spring when the big crappie are up shallow. Did you get the Russ Bailey kit that comes with the complete setup? Thanks so much for watching.🙏🐟

Thank you so much!🙏🐟

Haha. Thanks so much for watching, Chip! I should dedicate more time to float fishing than I usually do. I have seen Victor’s floats and used the BG-1 jig heads several times. Great stuff! If I didn’t enjoy swapping my lines out so often, I’d probably just put two spools on the reels to fill them the edge. Honestly, I know it’s goofy, but I like switching line material and weights when one runs out. Depending on the body of water and species, I like to use a few different ones. I’m sure you are right that it would improve things to use a backer. Maybe I will give it a try sometime. 🐟🙏

@@pistolcreek The "reel" problem is that you just don't have enough reels. 😇🤫🤔

Amen, my friend!😄

@@pistolcreek Hey Chris. Check out John Dalton's most recent video on More Creek Fishing Adventures. He puts us to shame!!! ..or makes us look good. Depends on which side of the fishing tackle fence you're on.

Same 🍻 ​@@pistolcreek

I ordered from the website.

@ I tried, keep getting knocked off , then the page freezes, will try again later

Darn! Yes, I’d give it another try later. You can buy the Roo in a cool kit or also in 10-piece packs. Lots of great colors.

That sounds super cool! Have you ever used the “Rattlin’ Pear” crappie floats? Those are really neat, too. One of my local bait shops carries them sometimes and they are fun to fish with. Thanks so much for watching and the tip!🙏🐟

Thanks so much for watching, my friend! Trust me… I lose my share of jig heads.😁 “Casualties of The Great Crappie War” We had a great Christmas. Hope you guys did to!🙏🐟

me too. It's kind of my "daily driver" rod, tough to beat.

Thank you so much, Mike! Hard to beat the TCB for a versatile, high quality ultralight rod. It has the perfect balance of backbone and flex for so many situations.

Tough and fun to use! Thanks so much for watching.🙏🐟

@@brythegeek Thank you so much! The Magic L is a terrific little rod for the price point. Very, very, nice.

@pistolcreek Thanks for your response as always!🙌🏻 Do you plan on getting your stickers in stock again?

@ Yes! Restocking stickers very soon.

Haha. Maybe we were neighbors.👍🐟

Right?! Thank you for watching!

Thank you, Doc! Always fun catching those crappie.

You’re in for some fun fishing with those new lures! Hope you land a bunch of nice ones. Thank you so much for watching. A 4lb crappie is insane.🤯 I wouldn’t know what to do if I landed one that big. Always love fishing for them in Spring when the spawn is on. Those females can get pretty big. Of course, I try to be gentle handling them so they can return to make more crappie!!!! Gotta love ultralight fishing. So much fun.

I also love that rod and reel combo! Looks perfect! Im too chicken to use 2lb line though. 😅

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that. Crappie are one of my favorite species to catch. 2lb line is a ton of fun for panfish… just have to set your drag accordingly and let it do the work. Casts light lures very well and makes every fish feel like a prize!🙏🐟

@ I may have to try it now. I’ve gone 4lb but never 2. That looks like so much fun though! I have an old Shakespeare ultralight rod and reel combo. Like the rod ok but never cared for the reel. It works fine for catching tiny bluegill to use as bait for huge catfish though! I’m going to look into that reel you used in this video. I mostly bass fish but truth be told, I love catching any species as long as they are healthy and beautiful. I just love fishing!

Some of those little Shakespeare ultralight rods are great! I have a couple of the Micro Series rods. For the price, they are very good. If you are looking to upgrade the reel… some options I’d suggest looking into are the Shimano Sedona or Nasci 500, the Daiwa Regal LT 1000, or the Pflueger Trion 20. All of these are solid, lightweight reels that you can find between 40-100 dollars. You might be able to catch one on sale someplace. It will make a tremendous difference in the enjoyment you get from that rod. Daiwa also has some nice 750 size reels that might be a good option. The Daiwa Q-750 line of reels is solid and they smart at around $30 or so. Good luck!

@ thanks for the input. I will look into those.

Thank you so much for watching!🙏🐟 Are you asking about the little tackle box in the front of the boat that I store my Trout Magnets in?

@@pistolcreek The brown one in the back, love the vidoes❤

I believe it is the Flambeau Outdoors 5007 large box that you can find at Walmart for about $6 or so. I have a few of them really like them. I do not think they are waterproof as far as submerging them goes, but they do latch pretty well. They make this same box is a few different sizes.

@@pistolcreek Thank you so much!

The box in the back is actually an old “Bait Box” brand tackle box that I’m not sure they make any more. I converted it into a battery box for my lithium batteries that power the trolling motor and a little Garmin depth finder. I use the storage pockets to hold spare jig heads, floats, bandages, etc.

Thank you so much for watching , Chris!🙏🐟

Wow! Thank you so much. John Dalton’s the best. Super nice fella. Really appreciate you checking the channel out and the sub.🙏🐟

@@ScalpNinjaTrader Yes! That is, if I ate fish.😁 I only catch them for fun. Thank you for watching!

@@dann.294 I enjoy trying new lines and test weights on a fairly regular basis, so I will often only fill my spools with about half to three quarters capacity at a time. I also like to use some lines that come in 100 meter spools… and don’t use a “backer”. Thank you for watching.🐟

Lots of great options out there. For ultralight reels, I really like the Daiwa LT 1000 lineup. The Regal, Revros, Legalis, Exceler are all very smooth and have a great drag system. For an even lighter option, the Shimano Nasci 500 or Shimano Sedona 500 are both terrific and weight about 6 ounces each. Can’t go wrong with any of those for a quality $100 and below reel.

@pistolcreek Thanks for all the info!! The Regal LT is also on my list! I guess I'll have to keep an eye on the sales!

Thank you so much!🙏🐟

There are definitely some good crappie in our state. Thanks so much for watching!🙏🐟

The free shipping is awesome. So many great lures and color options to choose from. Shonuff Chartreuse will be killer. Out of all fish species, crappie might be my favorite to catch. Thanks for watching and all the support, my friend!🙏🐟
