Crappie rods/reels

[LivinADream]

What are y'all using? I need some light stuff for crappie fishing and am lost. I fish mostly salt now days, and if I'm in fresh I'm bass fishing with same tackle. I don't have any light stuff, would like spinning gear I think, but have no idea what is good. Any help?

the Crappie Max rods at bass pro are good

Wally world has some decent ultra lite rods and reels...


Unless you wanna compete with Slew and Buff. Then go high dollar 11ft. Rods.




Or, be like Radar and uncle Pat..... use broomstick catfish rods. [emoji23][emoji41][emoji33]

Never been into the peter measuring contest, who likes losing? [emoji44] Don't need anything special, just want something that will be practical, comfortable, and work. Don't mind spending a little to have decent stuff, but don't need to impress anyone either.

I like small lews speed spool spinning reels or pfluger. I really like the 7ft wally marshal pro series or 7 ft b&m sam heaton super sensitive rods. I did pick up some 8ft pro anglers from Slew and they are great also.

Acc crappie stix and uglystik crappie.

I have one proangler that I use occasionally but the tips are easy to break imo.

I love my ugly stick ultra lites with a shakespear spinning reel.

Catches just as many fish as the high dollar stuff.

I gotta know what your planning on doing with it but I use 10-11’ Jenko Kevin Rogers series with Abu Black Max baitcasters and 7’ Grods for swimming jigs and dock shooting. My customers get Bonehead rods for shooting docks but I’ve about broke all those so probably move to Jenkos

A fly rod with a lite spinning real works pretty good. Easy to get up under the over hanging brush without spooking them.

So my favorite rods are by Pro Angler. Excellent backbone and tip for crappie fishing. I really like the sensitivity. For shooting docks I use the 6’ 6” rod and then for just jigging out on tree tops and brush piles I like my 8’ rods. They are very reasonably priced also. I get the cork grips. As for reels I have a few Pflueger Trions in 2000 series as well as a Daiwa Revros. All super affordable. So far all of them have been super durable and I fish A LoT!!!

For you, I'd believe that. I've seen you fish. And your results.

Mostly fishing brushpiles, maybe some cypress knees in the spring, and a little trolling, but mostly jigging brushpiles.

8’ Pro angler is pretty salty. If you wanna go longer I would look at 10-11’ Jenko Kevin Rogers. Both are similar in price and have replacement tips available.

For crappie I use a 7' light action spinning rod (salt water popping rod) with a small shimano spinning reel with 10 pound braid. Same rig I used to use free shrimping for specs. I do have some medium action that I will rig for minnow fishing with a slip cork on occasion.
