I have two of the bert bennett signature rods by crappie wizard.I am not sure but I think B&M now makes this rod .The ones that I have are definitely ultra light.Extremely fun to fish with and probably the most sensitive rods I own.But they are super light.You will not hoist a very large crappie over the side of the boat or turn ones head in a brush pile.I guess the fact that I have two speaks toward how much I like them.The kind of fishing you do will determine how they would work for you.
