I'll go first. 8' Pro Angler is the best $51 you can spend.

7' Bonehead, 1 piece.


I would rather die finding out there was no God than die finding out there is.

Anyone have thoughts on the bass pro shop brand? They have high reviews? Thought about $120 crappie rod but not sure. I got dobyns rods so it isn't necessarily cost that has me hesitant.

iv had one of the crappie maxx rods break about 7-8 inches above the reel seat. I use ugly sticks now but I'm gonna try out the pro anglers soon.

Obviously, plenty of awesome rods to chose from.

I own G-Rods, TICAS, Pro Angler, Southern Crappie Rods, BnM Sam Heaton Super Sensitive.
All Good Rods with nothing negative to say about any of them.

However,

I was turned onto a new rod by a fellow angler here on the Texas Fishing Forum.
The rod is made by a former Crappie Guide up in Illinois.

I have a Green two piece 8 Foot Rod.
I have a Red one piece 7 foot Rod.

I prefer to fish with an 8 foot rod, so I prefer the two piece Green 8 Foot Rod.

www.ACCCRAPPIESTIX.com

$52

Good Backbone and I can feel the lightest of bites. I landed a 35 pound yellow cat that decided to slam my Crappie Jig on Fork.
It took me 25 minutes to land him. I took pictures and released him back into the water.
The rod did not break even though it looked like the letter U the entire time.
I was sold on it from then on and it truly is my rod of choice right now to slay Crappie.
It is great to go Thump Chasing with on any lake.

You honestly cant go wrong with any of them that I mentioned.

Best of luck with whatever you decide. thumb

Any Questions feel free to call me. Glen Schmidt 214-264-3232

If you run into me on the lake I am usually the one hollering "HOGON" instead of "FISH ON". grin

What type of fishing you doing, redneck? In some models a 6' rod and a 7' rod is a completely different rod with completely different actions and power.


Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and all that is within me,
bless His Holy Name!
