A good friend bought me a Bone Head 10-foot Carbon rod for retirement. It's made in East Texas, and you can buy just the tip if it breaks. I haven't used it yet, But man it light.

Don't believe those Bone Head rods are made in East TX. The company distributing Bone Head products is "located" in East TX.

I was about to buy a higher dollar crappie pole, but just didn't know if I was going to prefer that over my spinning rod.
Saw a cheapo at Wal-Mart so went ahead and bought it to try it out before spending more money.
I will likely buy a few more of the cheapos. After using the one I bought, I just can't justify spending any more than that. It does everything I need it to do and I feel the bites just fine even when they aren't hammering the jigs.

I agree with the good comments about Pro Angler. I have bought, ACC, GRods etc in the past and pretty much retired them since I bought a Pro Angler. I now added a Pro Angler in almost every length and LOVE them! They are extremly sensitive, lightweight for all day jigging and very strong. I like that if you needed, you can buy an extra end. The rods are so affordable, you can buy every size your heart desires.

You don’t have to spend a ton of money to catch fish. I watched my grandad catch thousands of crappie with no Livescope, graph or depth finder on a $25 zebco 33 reel and rod combination. Just my opinion.

I have used many rods and over all my favorite is the ACC Crappie Stix. There are many options to choose from for every type of fishing. I am testing the 15 ft now and love it, but there are times when I use the 6 ft, so many options. Yes, I am sponsored by them, but only because I love their rods. I would encourage you to find friends that have the different rods and fish with them and see what fits you best though. Do not take the word of people on the internet, try them and see what you think and make a decision! Good luck and let us know what you go with!

I was unhappy when I got it only to find that it had larger spinning rod guides in the back. I use a fly or center pin real and did not want the bigger eyes and that is why I made sure to order the jigging rod. Their longer jigging rods have the smaller guides. When I contacted customer support I got a response that was total BS. I do like the action but I am not going to be happy with it until I have the 2 rear guides replaced.
