Rod and reels?

[FirstCast]

Curious to see what kinds of rods and reels you guys out there are using to fish crappie

[sinkermaker]

I use southern crappie rods from 8 to 16 ft and Diawa reels with vicious 6 lb yeller line for pulling and tight lining. I have 8 14 ft southern crappie for tight lining in one boat and 8 12 ft southern in another boat. I would venture to say the southern crappie are the best all around rod you can buy. My opinion.

Trolling rods are mismash of BnM and Bass Pro series with Shimano IX1000 reels and 6lb offshore angler hi viz line. Jig pole is Bass Pro Crappie Max Pro 12' with Eagle Claw Ice Reel and 10lb Power Pro, spinning rods are Berkley Lightning rods 6'6" ML with Mitchell Avocet 100 and 4lb Trilene XL and Gander Vortex 5'6" UL with Crappie Pro Slab Shooter reel and Trilene XL 4lb.

I have just one BPS rod (6'6") and the rest are B n' M, two 7' SHSS, one 9' SHSS and one 9' side pulling rod (B n' M's Roger Gant). The reels are now predominantly Pflueger 6920 siz Presidents. I also have a couple of Shimano Symetres, but since they skyrocketed in price, I'm more than pleased with the lesser expensive Pfluegers. JMO!

Being from South La. I fish mostly shallow waters, 6 to 7 feet. With that condition I find my favorite is a 10 jig pole (Sam Heaton, Duck Commander) with a Wally Marshall Solo reel. Very light setup for many hours of comfortable fishing. I also sometimes fish slightly deeper water or revert to casting and reeling. I then use my B&M Super Six Sharp Shooter which only does a fair job casting light jigs, remember it was engineered for dock shooting, or one of two 7' micro-lite rods of unknown name which I purchased on line years ago. They have performed well over the last 10 years.

My favorite rods are BnM,Ultralite for jigging,C&C for slow trolling.I'm not very picky with my reels and most are cheaper models,the best ones I have have are Pflueger Trions and a President which I think is a very nice reel.
