Best Spybait Rod

I caught most of my fish on spybaits this trip. The fish were still setup the way they were when I caught them on jerkbaits but the were reluctant to hit them. I did catch one nice one on a jerkbait still. I would throw the spybait out as far as I could and count it at a fall rate of 1’ a second and when it would be at the top of the grass line I would reel in slowly. The largest fish of the day came on this rig. It is a slow way to fish but it catches them when other things wont work.

Saltman reported catching Crappie using the Spybaits technique and Jenko Double Down BFS Casting Rod - EOL on Lake Okeechobee. Additional comments from this report: "Very cool morning on the lake 60 degrees early, water temp was 72. Stained water. I threw the Jenko shinobi pro blue bait around submerged cattail stalks. I was able to cast very far in the 4 foot of water using the Jenko double down and the bfs Shimano reel. This approach was key as the area I was in has received a lot of fishing pressure. The school of Crappie is spooked easily from the pressure. The long cast paid dividends as I was able to catch 55 fish in the first two hours of the day "
