Crappie Basics #143 Heavy Line
Get a group of fishermen together and you’ll always have different
opinions when talking about line. To some fishermen it’s the diameter.
Others are picky about clear or high-visibility.
Todd Huckabee is an Oklahoma guide who has also fished
tournaments and given seminars around the country. He says, “Heavy
line does not scare fish. They don’t know what it is. Your job is to
present a jig in the way it looks like something real. It doesn’t matter
color, mono, braid or size. You present a jig the right way and they
will not have time to inspect it close enough to worry about the line. If
presented in their face they will bite it.”
