Great question and great feedback! AND you ordered one for each hand! Best of luck!

I have both in my boat and probably fish them equally. Both are great rods. Performance wise, I don't notice a difference between the two. I haven't checked the specs on either, but the ACC does seem a little lighter, but that weight difference could be coming from the different reels I have on them. It's just a personal thing, but I only prefer the ACC because of the color. The green is just easier for me to see. You won't go wrong with either.

ACC is tough to beat. The pro angler felt like a B&M pole to me. And thats what i wanted to get away from. Acc is a light, stiff rod that can handle being beat up on a consistent basis. BTW i fished with a pro angler once. I now own 3 8 foot greens, a 12 ft green, a 10 foot red, a 10 foot rear seat red, a 11 foot rear seat red and a 7 foot red ACC. Excited about getting a dock shooter next!

Interesting that DKfishin mentioned the weight. I was just gonna ask about that. The PA reports a weight of 4.2 ounces vs. the ACC at 2.4 pounds. That's interesting. Different material for the rod blank? ? ?

I saw that 2.4 pounds on ACC's website also. I promise you it doesn't weigh 2.4 pounds. Arms sure would be tired if that were true. I'm assuming that should be ounces or it is shipping weight with the tube it comes in.

I wish y'all would quit talking about these ACC rods. My wife is tired of spending for a while.

Ordered my ACC replacement tip Monday, it was on my porch this afternoon. Can hardly wait for Saturday, to put it to use!

In my experience with PA and BnM rods, there is a huge difference; and that is the reason I stay away from BnM.

Hi Rods454, did you get a tracking number with your completed order notification?

Ordered mine on Monday morning and still waiting on tracking #

CoachTod you do not get a tracking number Andy just ships it to you.

You should have had it by today and more likely than not whoever was supposed to deliver it either forgot it in the truck or got behind on deliveries for the day. It's usually delivered by the Post Office. Check your front porch. I bet you have it by end of the day (Thursday).

Anxious for you to try it out and get your feedback.

Like Crope1 said...slime them up!

No tracking #. Paid with paypal Monday and it was there Wednesday. I really wasn't expecting it that fast. I'm not sure who delivered it. I didn't bother looking at the tube.

Posted yesterday from phone in a hurry. Wanted to make a few edits.

Both of these are great rods! Fished both trees and piles in 12 to 25 feet on Ray Bob on Saturday. Had to weed through a ton of little ones to get a mess. White/chartreuse and pink/shad were my best producers.



Little more on the rods.

Pro Angler. Put a Pfluger 6930 with 6 lb mono trilene. Fished mostly with 1/16 oz pink jig head with bonehead shad. Caught lots of dinks and few keepers on this setup.

ACC Crappie. Put on Quatum Array with power pro super 8 20 lb test (6 lb diameter). Fished mostly 1/16 oz pink jig head with a Cabela's shad. Caught most of the keepers on this setup. A few of those were 14-15 in fish.

Sam Heaton super sensitive 9 footer with Pfluger 6925 with power pro super 8 20 lb test (6 lb diameter). Fished mostly 1/8 oz white/chartreuse feather jig. Caught lots of dinks and few keepers on this setup. This is my usual setup and what I'm used to fishing.

Honest feedback, was all of these setups performed well. I was really impressed with how quickly I received the Pro Angler (2 days). ACC Crappie was coming from IL so took 4 days.

Pro Angler was ~$56 delivered. ACC Crappie was ~$64 delivered.

I would recommend both of these rods. Maybe after years of experimenting, I'll be able to say which one I prefer!

Congrats! I knew they both would catch Crappie in the right hands.

Glad they are working out for you.

First off, I don't need any more fishing poles. That being said, I just bought and received two days later an ACC Crappie Stix. I normally fish with either a 6'6" or a 6'9" Johnny Morris CarbonLite or a 6'6" Fenwick Eagle rod. I do have one 10' B&M rod for when I need a longer one for fishing in timber or if I'm on the back end of the boat fishing concrete. However, after visiting with HOGON, I decided to give the 8' ACC Crappie Stix a try. When my new fishing rod was delivered, my wife asked me what was in the tube and I said, "a new fishing rod". She replied, "I thought you said you didn't need any more fishing poles to which I just said....I don't. Can't wait to try it out!

I put my new ACC to the test Sat and Sun. Couldn't put it down. 14 keepers Sat and a limit Sunday, with at least that many dinks. Love me some ACC!
