I use a Bucks Graphite Jig Pole (BGJP) and a $12 Diawa 2000 Sweepfire reel that does real good. The 8' is my go to, but the 10's have their place too. The 8' balances great and is lighter than the 10 by a long shot.
I'm looking for suggestions on an 8'-10' one piece rod and spinning reel for crappie for around $60 or under. I'd like to use 6 or 8# mono for tight-lining from my boat or corked sometimes.
Thanks for the suggestions

Creativity is just intelligence fooling around
Grizzy Jig has a number of rods and reels in many price ranges. I have just gotten into tightlining so to keep from busting my budget I bought the Pinnacle Limit rods ($15 each when you by 4 or more) and Pinnacle Tiny 20 reels for $10 each. I respooled all the reels with 6# high vis line and I have been very pleased with them. I bought 6 10 ft and 2 8 ft ones. I don't think I have ever seen a 10 ft one piece rod. That would be cumbersome to ship and store I would think.
I have a couple of 10 ft graphite rods for jigging, but the Limit rods seem fine for me when tight lining. They are fiberglass I think, which helps when you hang up because they bend and don't break easily.
Good Luck

I have never seen one piece 8-10' rods. They are two piece usually. I like the B&M's also. BGJP 11" is my go to, with a little $5 plastic reel.

I like the Berkley Lightning IM6 rods and Shimano Sahara reels. $40 rod, and about that in a reel.
Now Im moving up to St. Croix rods, $100.
