Thread: Cotaco March 24th. Also need advice on rods.

Went to the creek and spider rigged a slough right off the creek. Caught around 15. Missed around 5. And brought home 6 or so. ( wasn’t really keeping count ) all fish were caught in chocolate stained water in less than 1 foot of water. Had a blast it was fun and a beautiful day to be on the water. However I broke a tip off one of my rods and broke a handle off one of my reels. I’m just starting out spider rigging so I bought the cheapest stuff I could get. 14’ HT rods with clearance mr crappie reels. 2.50$ a piece from grizzly jig. Had this set of 6 rods for little over a year and now I’m down to 3 so it’s time to upgrade. Looking for two 16’ ers and 4 14’ maybe 2 12’ too. What do y’all use or recommend for a quality rod and reel. I looked at grizzly jig and B&m has so many choices it’s hard to make a decision. Also I’m wanting a rod with a small diameter handle as the HT rods are a tight fit in my holders. Sorry For such a long post and thanks for hanging in there and reading this.......Jordan
