One of the ongoig problems in the lakes that I fish for crappie and gills is the brush and weeds. Does anyone amke a weedless or semi weedless jig for these panfish. I read the stories on this site about fishing on the hsaded side of a dock. I have never found crappie in that situation unless there was brush underneath. Therefore I loose alot of jigs, line etc.
