You will need a light action rod suitable for crappie fishing , a reel that will take line that light with a smooth drag ( these fish have delicate mouths ).
4#,6#, or at the max,8#test low memory mono line , pencil or carp fishing bobbers (europian style ), 1/8 Oz. or smaller split shot , and size 20 or 22 circle or octipus hooks and single eggs of salmon spawn, cured and died red or grapefruit in color .
the hook on the end of the line , the split shot about a foot above that , and as for the bobber , well it's trial and error from that point on , sometimes they are close to the surface , sometimes darn near on the bottom and anywhere in between .
Once you get the right debth figured out , keep it there, you will have the best results for a few hours .
A little note :
This is the fancy way of doing it , had a kid outfish me a couple years back with an old shakespear setup from K-Mart and a perch rig with minnows.
Instead of fish I had me a big ol' helping of "Humble Pie " .
