Got into a mess of crappies today in an old pit, caught about 40 total, either under 8" or 11-14"

Biggest at 14"

Just curious.  What rod(s) were you using and how did you like it(them)?
My dream is to get into a few of those bad girls and can just see the old rods

Thanks,

Nice mess of fish there....  I miss pit fishing, my grandfather used to run a sand pit.  I didn't know how good I had it back then...

Most of them came on a 'Bro" series 32" light action and a forage minnow spoon with a chain dropper and gulp minnows.Was the first time I used the rod and it worked great, largest fish of the day was a 16" LM.

Sweet!  Good to hear you liked the rod.
Really like the Bros Series rods and combos.
Have several in different lengths/actions.
Just need to get into some nice crappies like you found.
Thanks,
jk

Bruiser, the ice is fantastic down here. Went out yesterday and had 8" of clear ice and no snow.
