I love using ultra-light tackle with 4lb test line and use a small (1/32, 1/16 or 1/8 oz) tube jig with a minnow or nightcrawler and fishing for big crappie or bluegill. they fight like the devil on light tackle and around here they can be found ranging in size from 1/2lb to 1 1/2lb. Also use same tackle for walleye and bass just for fun. And nothing like fishing for bluegill with a flyrod in early summer when they are up shallow to breed in the warm water.
