Well did they catch any fish?
I got some Southern Crappie Rods SCR143T trolling rods a couple of weeks ago. We spider rigged with them last week with 5/8 oz weights over a 1/8 oz jighead. There was very little bend in the rods. I wanted to try them with heavier weights. Ed says they are rated for 2 oz of weight. I put 2 oz weights on some and 3 oz on others with very small deep runner crankbaits on KY Lake yesterday, a typical "pushing set-up that many folks do on a regular basis. The pics below show the pole with 3 oz on the left, 2 oz on the right. Keep in mind there were cranks on these rather than jigs or roadrunners which would not load the poles up nearly as much as the cranks. Both pics were taken with the boat moving at 0.9-1.0mph.

Shoot, dux .... I can see that just from the pics Those rods don't load up near as bad as my PST & Capps/Coleman 14' rods with 3/4oz weights & a crank (@ 0.8-1.2mph) ... let alone having a 2oz weight strapped on it and going 1.8mph (like most do up here) !!
Might have to see about investing in a few of them to use for pushing (& use my other 14'ers for slower/lighter weight trolling methods, like Spider Rigging jig/minner rigs or slow trolling Roadrunners).

Have some on the way. Are they as sensitive as the other 14 footers?
