Title: Thumper Rigs
Post by: RonDon on 03/17/12 17:44 UTC

The crappie spawn is in full swing here.  Heres how i started rigging a few Thumpers.  The extra flash of the blade has been working well.

That looks like a absolute bream killer rig as well.

Man that one is black. Where are you at? Up here at the frost line they're still pretty silver.

Water temp was 48 this morning and visability about 6 inches.  We've had a lot of rain in the past week...the lake rose about 12 feet and it looks like a giant mud puddle.
