I can't get used to mine. A have an 11' ACC that I struggle with. Now my 10' double touch just feels better. But they're old and so am I. LoL

Hey ya’ll. Can you give me some insight on mid seat versus rear seat jigging rods 10-12 feet long? Advantages or disadvantages? Considering a purchase of my first rear seat model. Have used them lots when I was fly fishing but not crappie fishing. Thanks in advance.

I really like mine. I use the Bucks Ultra-Lite 11'. The rear seat helps balance the rod by putting the weight of your reel farther back. They can be awkward to reel fish up with if you are fishing deep though, takes a little bit to get used to.
10’ rear seat is about like using 11’ mid seat. 10 and 11 rear seat are about all I use you just need to match the right rod and reel for balance.
Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
10’ rear seat is all I use jig fishing! Most of my jig fishing is done during the spawn to pretty shallow water! My favorite is a ozark! I have a acc crappie stix that I like a lot to.... never need to reel fish so all mine have a bucks mini reel spooled with braid!

I have a 10' Ozark rear seat. Never really got used to it, doesn't seem to suit my style of fishing very well, and it's a pain in the butt to store in my boat.
If you do a lot of shallow dipping/jigging (cane pole style), it may work well for you. I like to cast, or vertical fish deeper water, where a long pole is not of much benefit.

They can be awkward to reel fish up with if you are fishing deep though, takes a little bit to get used to. I use both vertical fishing in trees and open and cannot say anything negative. I use fly reels with 8-10 lb line. I feel everything the jig touches.
