Thanks Gentlemen. I realized about loading the rod for the circle hook and not trying to set it. What I had never encountered or thought about was the fact that the angle of the rig's legs and the depth lets the fish get into the structure just by coming up and out faster than you can pull him toward you. Makes more sense now. The tips are, as always appreciated.

Crappie: If I had more big fish under my belt, I would join you in going with jigs and poppers. I just ain't there yet. Plus, if I don't bring home fish I don't go again so easy.
