Your thoughts on purchasing a new rod - 09/10/19 01:20 PM
I’m in the market to buy a new crappie rod. The two that I have are probably 25 years old (an 11’ Uncle Buck’s and an 8’ Pflueger fly rod). I’ve recently upgraded the electronics on my boat and want to spend time fishing for crappie on brush piles and standing timber with my new Livescope. I’m not looking for a rod to spider rig with. I know that there are better rods available on the market today, but I’ve been out of the fishing game so long that I don’t know where to start.
I’ll be attaching a small spinning reel to the pole. Any advice that you can offer would be appreciated very much. Rod length, brand / model, preference for a rod that has the reel mounted at the butt of the rod vs. a foot or so away from the butt, etc.
Thanks,
Keith
