spinning rod

[crappie lover ken]

does anyone know where i can fine a 6' 1 piece lite action spinning rod. all i can fine is 2 piece and i just don't like them. i fish with spinning rods and fly rods only and i like a longer 1 piece rod but i also don't want to spend a fortune on one either.




keep on fishin

Go to Grizzly Jig and look around there. Call them and they can help you out. They have more crappie poles than you can imagine. They are located in Southwest Missouri...good folks.

I'm not sure what you consider a fortune, but the Loomis SR720 is very nice for just about $115. St. Croix Avid's are in the same price range and very nice. St. Croix has some cheaper lines as well.

The Quantum Xtralites are sweet little rods. I have a 6.5 footer, but they make a 6' rod, also. They go for around $50.

BPS has their Microlite's on sale now for $30. I have two, and they're nice rods.

Finally, check out Cabela's house rods. I have one of their Fish Eagle II's, but I've also heard good things about the Tourney Trail ($60) and Pro Guide ($40) rods.

How much do you want to spend?

This is a nice IM7 6.6 at real good price - 1 piece.

This is probably a killer rod. IM10 - never seen IM10, but I bet its ultra sensitive.

Academy Sports is where I buy all my rods. They have a good selection from $15-$125. There is one in Tuscaloosa, AL and Birmingham, AL

G-Loomis and St. Croix have some that are really good rods. I have a 6' 1pc St. Croix and a 6'6" 1pc G-loomis spinning that I use and they are great.

BPS on-line . They have a cheap pole that I use called a MICROLITE.It is on sale now for 29.99.It is in the clearance box. I have about 10 with no complaints. I just bought 2 more! If I bust one I just toss it!

I have found that Gander Mountain has a good supply of different types of rods. Although, they are over-priced on some things, and it is usually the things I am needing.
