Rods

There are several B’n’M rods on sale including specialty rods for trolling and dock shooting. But if you’re looking for a do-it-all rod for spring fishing you can’t go wrong with the 8-foot Diamond Series Crappie Jig Pole. It’s a rod that’s perfect for casting a jig and detecting subtle bites as a crappie feed up on your bait. You can also use it for fishing a jig and float, which is one of my favorite spring tactics. During the crappie madness sale you can get it for only $51.

Another great do-everything rod is the Bass Pro Shops Micro Lite Graphite Spinning Rod. In the 7-foot light or ultra light, it would be a fantastic rod for throwing crappie jigs to laydowns and brush piles as they move into the shallows to spawn.

Reels

Crappie aren’t going to scream drag, but a quality reel will save you a lot of headaches on the water. The Lew’s Custom Speed Spin Spinning Reel is usually $110, but it’s now on sale for $70.

Baits

There are a lot of great baits on sale during Crappie Madness, but one of my favorites is the crappie magnet kit. It has everything you need to catch crappie in spring and the baits are very simple to use. You pretty much just cast them out and let them sit under the float. If you have a little ripple on the water the bait will naturally jig itself or you can impart some action. I find it works best if I do nothing and keep my eyes glued to the float for any sudden changes.
