Rod: You can use either the Bait Caster or the Spinning Rod 6
1/2 or 7 foot
Recoil Rig Assembly:
Now that you have the material, let's put it together.
Startwith the line leading from your
reel. Attach the stand outhooks or the # 6 crappie hooks; try and place
them at least9 inches to a foot apart.
Then attach your main line to thepineapple swivel.
Now if you noticed at the other end of thepineapple swivel, thread your spectastic line through the openingand pull down. This will lock the line in place and you do notneed to tie it.
Next step is thread the wire through the weightuntil the opening is sticking through the weight. Here again, you do not need to tie it. If you will pull on it, that will lock it into place.
Go to the other end of the weight and slowly pullthe wire until it disappears inside the weight.
At the otherend of the weight you can
either bend the wires back towardthe upper part of the weight and cut
the excess, or I have hadfolks pinch the weight.
Last thing is either attach your luresor live bait.
Casting Technique:
This rig is used mostly on a vertical presentation and not trolling.
This is when the fun begins. Lower it beside a brush pile, rocks, stumps or stake-bed and hold on because the crappie will
followshortly.
If you do not get action right away, giggle the tipand allow the baits to dance a little. Do not overwork the baits so it does not look natural.
Make sure that you send me some info on how this works for
youand if you need additional help in rigging it up, use the
commentsection below to get to me.
Practice Makes Perfect:
I recommend you practice with the Crappie Recoil Rig in the pool or
bath tub because if you have lakes like in the Mid-South, they never clear up so I
have to know what that Recoil Rig is doing at all times.
I PRACTICE before going to the lake and throwing it.
I can promise you will have a great time catching your favorite fish. Purchase it now and
start practicing to be ready to hit the lakes this spring.
It will blow your mind when no one else is catching fish.
You can walk up with a Recoil Rig and tear them up. The action in the
video below showing worms, minnows and crawfish in action will make you want to try this out for
yourself.
Many crappie caught using recoil rigs are in the slab size.
Not only are crappie slab being caught with the recoil rigs; Bass, Bream,
Walleye, Pike, Trout, Catfish, and even deep sea fish are drawn to the unique lure or live bait
movement.
Something that works so good on so many fish means you can't go
wrong.
Give it a try and I mean a honest try. Don't go throw it once and
say, Oh it does not work then throw it in the bottom of your tackle box.
Increase your chances of taking home some fish for that fish fry by using the Recoil
Rig set up for crappie as I've shown you. Good Luck!
