Southern Crappie Rods question

[KnightShadow10]

All the Southern Crappie rods shown on the website have the long handles and fixed reel seats that are normally associated with "spinning" reel use .... and all the pictures showing them "in use" have them with spinning reels attached. That, however, does not necessarily mean that a baitcast reel cannot or should not be used.

But, if you are looking for a rod with the traditional "baitcast rod" style handle .... then, no, I don't believe he has such.

If you can't get the website to load ... his email address is : [email protected] .... and his ph# is : 704-791-0108 (but he requests that you do not leave phone message, but call back if no answer or send an email) His business hours are 9-9 Mon-Sat.

These work fine with baitcasters also..I really like these rods..Ed is quite a fellow...

The 16' trolling rods are Kevlar with carbon added. They are not like a flimsy fiberglass pole in the slightest

Yes, they are Kevlar. Stiffer than fiberglass, not a brittle as graphite. It's perfect material really. The long pole over 10 ft are Kevlar graphite composite becasue of the length. The Kevlar SCR are much more sensitive than fiberglass and has far more backbone as well. People have gotten so used to the stiffness of graphite that they don't realize what they're giving up using other materials. Kevlar and Kevlar/graphite makes a good combo of materials.

Love the southern crappie 14fters I had and tough as nails.But the tips flop around to much on windy days.Boat control and good tip action when it's windy will put more fish in the boat.Sure hated to sell mine,wish they performed better in the wind spiderriging.

This is why I’m looking at 12’ers. I normally don’t shallow water spider rig.

I got the 143T's I would buy the lighter rods if I had it to do again

[sinkermaker]

I have a set of the 14 regular with spinning reels and a set of the 14 heavy with line counters on them. I prefer the 14 heavies to spider rig and push jigs. They are excellent rods.
