    Default Picked up ANOTHER new rod


    :o Where does it stop? Anyway, we have been having to fish deep here lately and it is kinda hard to do with a 6' rod, especially with 3 people in the boat. So I was driving by BassPro this morning on my way to do a job, and I did have the Gift Certificate from xmas, so I stopped:D. Picked up a Wally Marshall crappie rod. 8' light with IM8 graphite shaft. Instead of buying another reel, I will just use my little Shakespeare Ultralight. Not sure how I will like a longer rod, but hopefully I will get to try it out this weekend.

    Thats the one I settled on looking at next time I'm by a bass pro. Let me know what you think? How much was it?

    I got 2 of the 9' the last time I was by BPS. It is somewhat stiffer than the reg. B&M rods as far as I am concerned which I like plus the cork handles. I like it very well, fish normally with a rod in each hand, it is a little heavier also.

    I use the WM pro series in 8' with Quantum hypercast reels. I also use 12' sig series rods for visible brush and flooded timber in the spring. If you have another gift card I would give the hypercast reel a try. It is a trigger style spinning reel but the bail will trip in any position and has constant anti-reverse.

    Default I use the 7 foot model

    I have used this rod in the 7' model and really like it till I broke the tip last year. Repaired it myself and is still a darn good crappie rod. They should be going on sale next month.

    I have several in various lenghts and very pleased with all of them. I really like my 8' teamed with a BnM Mini Reel for wade fishing : its light and compact. After the spawn and they move back out swap out the reel for one of the WM spinning reels. And as a plus you cant beat their warranty.
