I know a crankbait would be a better hookup ratio but slow trolling small plastics is deadly for crappie. Especially, where we were pulling them over a hump with submerged standing timber adjacent to the creek channel.
May try some small cranks next time to see if that changes the hook% and may move the rods closer to my hands.

The key to catching those trolling with a single hook...small plastic....is to keep the forward pull on the rod until you can get it in your hands and start reeling. I would assume that rowing your boat you would still have the forward momentum of the boat as you let go the oars and reach for your rod. That is what I have experienced in my little bit of trolling in the kayak. I am really excited for Fall to get here as I want to troll a lot at Nickajack in the kayak for those big slabs. If you have any Bandit 300's try them. They catch huge Crappie and those hooks bite.
