ok went out Friday nite and bought me a new crappie set-up. it's a 7' light action Shakespeare rod with a shakesspear cfs20 reel. its the Shakespeare Marigane Mojarra set-up.
just wondering if this set-up will be ok for fishing deep and shallow(if I can put the bass rod down) lol.

thanks for your responses!
May your next crappie be your new personal best.

It should get the job done. Good thing about crappie fishing, you don't have to break the bank to get good equipment. Good luck on the fishing!

now go get'em! wish you the best of luck!

It'll handle crappie okay! I normally use my ultra lights for gill fishing...once you hook up to one of those big girls, you'd think you're catching whales when you see that rod bend! Super sensitive and light weight!
