Thats because these slabbers scoff at the little wimpy stuff! 2lb test?? NOPE! Trust me these 15 inch plus Crappies will leave you crying in the bottom of the boat saying “Rainydaze told me so!” or “Wow that felt kind of like a pike!!” Nope!! Light walleye gear will suit you very well on these big pannies while also coming in pretty handy when that big walleye gets tempted.
