I think just like with everything today, you have to consider the price. $169.00 rod should out perform most of the other crappie rods on the market.

I used the 8-foot PA rod for the longest time and loved it. Then I bought a couple of their 6.5-footers, and I mostly use those. I bought the $169 G-Rod last June, and broke off the first guide a few months later. Talked with Glenn, and he explained that I had to treat it like the expensive rod it is. Ugh. I'm kinda rough on my equipment.
They repaired it though, and aside from the $60 price tag, all is well.

also, if you break the top half of the rod, you can buy just the top for the pro angler. I have a 10 footer and will likely get an 8 soon.
I look at it this way, never get too attached to any rod, sooner or later they all break, except maybe an ugly stick.
COMING SOON! .. THE STICKLE HOOK " the stay level sickle hook". sits level in the water with all knots.! Provides better hook sets and more natural jigging motion. No more adjusting the knot, gluing , or tying loop knots that cause the hook point to tangle in the loop, or worse knick the line.. The jighook that will make all others obsolete !

The PAT 8' is a great all around rod. A really good size crappie can easily be slung over the gunnels. I now fish mainly with the 10' for a little more stealth and reach fishing timber. However, when I put the 8' in my hands, it's like, oh man, this is crazy good! are all of the top sections of the rods the same length? I was thinking, if they arent, I could just buy a shorter top section to use with my 10 footer so I could have a shorter rod when needed. . I have always thought that if a manufacturer sold a rod with one size bottom section, and 3 to 4 interchangeable different length top sections, they could dominate the 2 piece rod market. it would be like 4 rods in one. a nice little case to hold the various length top sections in, and u could swap the tops anytime u want, instead of carrying a dozen rods with you. THE VERSAROD SYSTEM!!!

First crappie on my 8' ProAngler. Considering the weather yesterday, I was happy to find one. Also caught a 6-7 pound blue cat and a few buck bass. 
The solution to any problem - work, love, money, whatever - is to go fishing, and the worse the problem, the longer the trip should be. --John Gierach ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2019/09/full-13-25328-gco.jpg)

I must be the only person who bought a g rod and was not impressed.
IMHO. It is a good rod, not worth the extra $$. I fish it along with several pro anglers, I can't say it out performs them
Good luck

Good way to break in that rod J P. That blue cat showed you what the rod can do.
