School me on these rods. Thinking of replacing my current rods with the 8 ft spinning rods.

I sat on the fence for about a year or so before I pulled the trigger on one.myself, after buying one (1) I now have 6 most of them are 10 footers.
Just saying. I truly believe they are top notch crappie rods. I have two g rods that I thought were going to be the cats meow NOT. Boneheads are really good but I think I have now discover the rod I will use everyday from here on out. ACC for this guy

Thanks ranger. I’m looking at the 8ft rods for fishing minnows? Would you go with 8ft or 10ft for that type of fishing?

I am the type of person that sneeks up on them, so I tend to fish with 10 footers year round. Anything longer then that I don't care for. Anything shorter I think it cuts down on the range. If you are a bridge fisherman then 10 footer is a little challenging. I don't fish bridges and strictly a Livescoper

I really like my ACC rods, primarily run the 10’ but do have a couple of 8’. Haven’t tried a Bonehead. I just like the backbone and price of the ACC.

I just bought 2 of the 8 footers. Can't wait to get them on the water. With a Lews 1000 with braid the rod and reel weigh 8 ounces !

I have a one piece 5’6” for dock shooting a 7’6” for bridges both are one piece. I have a new 12’ that I plan to use for livescope. I have had it out a couple of times and the longer rod will need some practice to get used to. I like one piece rods so I have not tried the 8. I think you will like thrm

I have several in various lengths. My go to for quite some time was a 10 footer....good all-around length IMO. However I recently got the 13 foot Crossover and I love that dang thing. The extra reach improves my boat control as I dont have to be so precise with the trolling motor while jigging structure. I can spot-lock further away from it and when the TM "wanders" a little its not such a big deal. I also hooked into a few whites this past weekend that were a little over 2 lbs and boat flipped them without hesitation.

Oh, I also recommend the Super Grip models. Much more comfortable than the cork handles.

I have 8, 10,11,12 fters. Like them all. Light, sensitive, and good backbone. A few people who have broken one, say customer service is top notch. Replacements come quickly with no questions.
