When it heats up here is when you really need tip performance,ramps are packed full of people.If your bait it bouncing alot you have less chances of getting bit.

Thank you every one for your opinions and advice. G the reason I’m thinking about 16s is because I really want to get the bait out in front of the boat . I have thought about going with the 14s though..

I have two rods in the following lengths,16, 14, 12, and 10'. All are either crappie Maxx from Basspro or bjp series from B&M. Everyone of them has been doubled over under the boat and I didn't break anything. All 8 rods have Shimano IX rear drag reels for $10.00 each. Each spooled with 100 yards of 20 pound braided line.
Took a warrior out crappie fishing yesterday, his first time. We doubled over rods several times, broke line off at the hook once. Caught his limit and came in about 8 th out of 30 teams yesterday.

I love my Capps and Coleman rods especially when the temps are low and the fish bite light usually run 3/8 egg weights on them... I have a set of southern crappies that I like they are the 143t and so great with heavier weights and I have a set of ozarks that are my favorite! They seem to be a good all around rod!
