Bob, get 10 crappie fishermen together and you'll probably get close to 10 different opinions. I want a jigging rod that's light but pretty stiff. Hard combination to come by. By far the best I've found is the Wally Marshall Signature Series. (Not the Signature Light). It's not cheap (around $50), but worth every penny. The 8' model comes with 11 eyes plus the tip. And it's hard to beat Wally's customer service. If there's a problem....call him. He'll make it right. He posts his personal phone number on his site and he will either answer your call or return it. Heck of a rod. Good luck on whichever rod you pick!
