I found some Eagle Claw rods at Dunhams Sports all different legnths for 14.99 a piece I put my line counter reels on them the rods are yellow so they stand out works well. Make sure your rods are longer as you go out I go 6,7,12,16 on each side. I use the Eagle Claw rods then Berkley lighning rods I got on sale at WalMart and the Wally Marshall rods or now Crappie Maxx from BPS. As long as they ae different lengths it shouldn't matter what you get so good luck rods are expensive no matter what you get buying 4-8 of them can add up quick.
