Fishing With The DUCKETT CRAPPIE SLAYER! (Several Giant Fish)

I recently picked up the Duckett Crappie Slayer rod to test on some summer slabs here in Michigan. For about $70, the price is very attractive, and after a full day of winching on big fish, I would say this is a solid rod for the price. Fortunately, I was able to catch a lot of Crappie while shooting jigs under docks. That being said, this trip became a lot of work because the Channel Catfish were likely spawning in the same areas and it made for a crazy day with the Mule Minnow 2.2. Additionally, I was even able to land a giant Freshwater Drum. Gooooood times!

Crappies look like such FUN fishes to catch! Voracious and decent-sized. They tried to acclimate them here in france, like, a century ago, but the area they colonized is super limited. Which is better than being super-invasive like sunfishes, mind you. Edit: your huge catfishes are quite a catch as well.

@FishAnything Месяц назад

Thanks! Yeah crappie are a lot of fun, but to your point, I’m glad they didn’t become an invasive problem. So many introduced species do…

@riverratfishing Год назад

Lots of nice fish. I like to use that shooter cast when I’m bank fishing and I’m in a lot over overhanging branches. Another awesome video

@FishAnything 11 месяцев назад

That is a great time to use the shooting cast!

This video really helped show how good the blank on that rod is. It looks great for $70! This trip must have been a blast!

This trip was a memorable one for sure! Good rod for the price :)

@eh1918 Год назад

Those big fish must've been exciting compared to the dinky crappie! Catching big fish when it's hard to is really rewarding, especially when it's least expected.

@FishAnything Год назад

100% agree. Was a BLAST!

@eh1918 Год назад

@@FishAnything Though some of those crappie were really nice sized. Surprised you were finding them so well this time of year. So far I can't catch anything it's so hot down here lol.

Hey Ethan buddy, your big channel catfish that were about 26" were only 4" shy of a Michigan Master Angler award.🙌🏻🎣

@FishAnything 11 месяцев назад

Definitely looked that up after the trip. Close, but not really. A 30" fish would have been insanity.

@logannewman4532 Год назад

On the subject of leader knots, I've gone through so many phases and have primarily favored the Alberto but I've always liked the blood knot. I have just always struggled with it. Recently a local fly fishing guide posted a video demonstrating how to tie a blood knot in 15 seconds. Granted you have longer tags to trim off using his technique but it really does work. I've been a blood knot tying machine!

@FishAnything 11 месяцев назад

So many options. Find one that works for you and roll with it! Double Uni never fails me so I don't feel a need to change at this time.

Thank you as always, Brian :)

@BobbyOfEarth Год назад

Man, I really enjoy the thrill of casual fishing with an ultra-light, never knowing what'll bite. Here in NorCal, we have Lake Mendocino, land of the giant Crappie. Largely because Mendocino has Strippers, which feed on the large schools of shad. Already excited for February...

@FishAnything 11 месяцев назад

Sounds like a fun place to wet a line :)

@Leadlobotamist Год назад

I was pretty close to getting a crappie slayer but TFO had a clearance on their old trout and panfish. Cant beat a $80-110 for $60. Love the rod, been using it in the creeks, but I might have to grab a slayer in the future. Looks solid.

@FishAnything 11 месяцев назад

The TFO is a great rod, and a bit more versatile. I think you got a solid stick for a nice price.

@raymondjohnson6496 5 месяцев назад

Have you seen the st croix Avid they got three models first one is ASPS pan fish second one is ASFS is a ASWS third one is walleye and they got a fresh water rod I think about buying one or two or three rods in different sizes

@FishAnything 5 месяцев назад

@scottiewhigham3431 3 месяца назад

@jboulderct Год назад

I like a triple surgeon knot for light braid to leader. Easy to tie, and almost as strong as an Albright or FG. If I step up to heavier line, I just do 5 or 6 wraps instead of 3.

@FishAnything 11 месяцев назад

Just gotta find what is most comfortable for you. I like the double uni but there are a ton of great options.

@huskergator9479 8 месяцев назад

Drum are fun! Some of the best combat i have seen or experienced was with big drum. Lil drum are acceptable to eat, but the big guns are too red along spine. Sure are fun though.

@leepao6302 5 месяцев назад

i love to fish for largemouth bass; but compares a fight between a bass and a catfish; pound for pound the catfish put up a much more harder fight than a largemouth

@FishAnything 5 месяцев назад

These catfish kicked my butt! They were great fighters.

@RomanMoroniesFargingWall Год назад

I've got an ultralight and a medium power rod. I've been waffling about stepping up to a MH or Heavy rod for catfish or slotting in a Light rod for the sac-a-lait. You've caught bigger cats on that Duckett Light than I have on my Medium. 😂😂

@FishAnything 11 месяцев назад

Definitely would want a heavier rod if I was specifically targeting cats! Lots of fun on the light rod though haha

@TheHunterFisher Год назад

That rod actually looks killer for dock shooting, I’d love to pick your brain on how to find these Summer Crappie near me. I haven’t tried dock shooting in a long time. What were the depths that you think you were catching them in? There’s a bigger main lake near me known for trophy crappie and bass, but I’m sketched to get the yak out there. 😂

@FishAnything 11 месяцев назад

Definitely be careful with the kayak on big water, but it is doable. Just make sure you wear a PFD, have a flag, and always put safety first. Conditions/fishing style in Florida are likely far different than here in Michigan. I found most of these Crappie off of the main river channel along main lake docks.

Hello ! Today is Friday September 1, 2023. Are that Duckett crappie slayer 6’6” light spinning rod are it better than the T F O panfish/ trout 6’6” light spinning rod yes are no please. Are you using straight braided fishing line in this RU-vid video with that Duckett crappie slayer 6’6” light spinning rod. May the lord bless your heart today to answer all of my questions and may the Lord bless you and your family and your RU-vid page in 2023 please 🙏🙏

@FishAnything 11 месяцев назад

Hey there! I was using 6lb braid to a. 6lb copolymer leader. I don't think it is better, but it is pretty similar quality. I would choose a TFO over this for multispecies and a variety of fishing techniques, whereas I would choose the Duckett if I wanted a specific Crappie stick.

@panfishfanatic1055 Год назад

I wish I had lakes near me that had catfish. I love eating them but they’re tricky to catch on the rivers near me that are tackle magnets

never heard of this brand name before, duckett. Do they have different types of poles out for all kinds of fish or is it just this one for crappie

Question Howdy, got my first ultra light setup (almost complete) I have 1 question, would 8lb berkley X5 braid be too heavy for casting lures around 1.5g - 2g It's 0.1mm thick and 4lb mono people use is 0.2mm So I thought since the braid is half as thin, it should be lighter and cast much better then mono What do you think of this? And will I get lots of distance compared to 6lb Berkley x5

@FishAnything 11 месяцев назад

You should be fine with the 8lb braid but I would probably go with 6lb if you have the option. The thinner, the better.

@isaacrigby 11 месяцев назад

@@FishAnything Thanks for your help, decided to get 8lb last sunday, still hasn't arrived which is annoying, but thanks for your help with my other comments!
