I've liked my Loomis IMX SR842-2 / 7' light fast action a lot, but was looking for something new to cast light crappie jigs up to 1/16oz, but I have a tough time getting a loosey-goosey, non-backboned rod image out of my head when I hear the word ultralight. I was considering a St. Croix Legend Elite Panfish LEP64LXF / 6’ 4” / Light/ Extra Fast to give me a little more sensitivity and jig control. Or is the Diplomat tight and more than enough rod for nice crappies? Thoughts?
