OK Class what have we learned?# Don`t tell another man your rod is better than his just because you payed more $$ for it, #2 Don`t be envious of the man that can purchase the high $$ rod. Not all bank accounts are created equal,& #3 Buy what you can afford.You will be much happier when you do catch.  The Thump is in the Fish! The jig,line & ROD just gives him away  Now can we move on?PLZZZZ?

For those of you that think $160 is too much to spend on the MAIN tool that puts fish in your freezer ..... I found a pic of your crappie boat on google! ACAMS I thought I asked you before to keep my garage private, no posting on the internet. Oh well cat's out of the bag now.

I have one addiction..... crappie fishing. So I agree the rod does make a big difference. I only use a NRX drop shot G-Loomis rod. The thump feels like a small expoloson in your hand. My two cents...buy the best rod you can afford. You will be able to tell the difference.

I've been using St. Croix and Falcon rods for a while now, partially because the thump is amplified over my ugly stick but mainly for the balance and lighter weight.Kinda like shooting a firearm, best to have one that fits.
I would rather die finding out there was no God than die finding out there is.
