I have the frabills too. Nice for lighter baits even some tungsten baits. Spoons are too heavy though. I have used them just pulled the spring almost all the way back. Brickers custom rods had a seminar on this at the PTO get together. Great info. He had a couple of his custom rods and the spring was angled up. I think he said make sure you load your spring 50% with your jig. So if you have a light jig use a small split shot. Correct me if I am saying it wrong.
Just saying,I was sight fishing in 7 fow with weeds to 5 fow ,watching the Vex,the spring and the jig below the ice (it's tough to do,you need 3 eyes lol) but you can not believe the amount of big gills and slab crappie that inhale and blow out your jig WITH NO SPRING MOVEMENT AT ALL.
Seen big crappie suck the bait in and exhale so fast you cant set the hook!
When sight fishing, set the hook the moment you see the gills flare or you will be way to late most of the time on crappie. It seems like it is too early, but it works.
