If you are just starting out crappie fishing or taking it to a new level there are a few things that you'll need. Perhaps you haven't been fishing for years and you now have the time to pick up where you left off.

Some of the necessary gear is obvious while others are things you might not think about, until you need them. If you're new to crappie fishing or simply haven't had the time to enjoy it in awhile, you may be a little shocked when you go to buy supplies.

There are so many things to choose from it can be a little overwhelming at first. That's why so many novice anglers end up spending lots of money on things they don't need, then discover they don't have some of the supplies they do need.

Basic crappie supplies that every fisherman needs:

Rod - The fishing rod is one of the obvious items that you'll need when going crappie fishing. But what type of rod should you use to get started? A light-weight fishing rod is recommended for catching crappies. The length can vary according to what's comfortable for you.

Reel - The reel is something that all fishermen know they need but again, which one would be best for catching crappies? The spinning reel is normally recommended for beginners and the reel should be light-weight to match the fishing rod.

Fishing Line - The fishing line is often overlooked. After all, it comes on the reel, Right? Some reels will have fishing line on them but not all of them do. Still, that doesn't mean you won't need more or that it's the kind you want to use.

What happens when the line gets tangled up and you have to cut it? What if you catch a larger size fish than you expected and it breaks your line? You always need extra fishing line with you when you go crappie fishing, just in case.
