What's your budget? I have some Quantum 6'6" rods that are nice. Bass Pro's Microlights are good as well. My Loomis rods are hard to beat, though.
Cabela's has their Fish Eagle II rods on sale right now for $49. I'd jump on that!
Gentlemen,
I'm looking for a high quality 6' 6" crappie rod. I have several great rods some 5', others 10', 11', 12' and such. I love the Pro Angler Rods, B & M Rods and Outlaws. I look forward to getting an Ozark very soon. However does anybody know of a great 6' 6" crappie rod?
Thanks,
Brad
Can You Find, "LIMITVILLE!!!" :D

Gander Mountain carries a beautiful IM8 spinning rod for $50. I got a $20 gift certificate for Christmas and they were 30% off during the holidays. I couldn't resist and got 2 of them for under $70. After using them I feel they are actually better rods than the $110 StCroix's I broke last year and I look forward to giving them a good workout this year. Even at the regular $50 price I highly recommend them. I was going to get new StCroixs, but I'm sure I'll have a hard time spending the money on them at least this next year now with these 2 nice rods to try. I got a 7ft ML and a 7ft UL. I think the ML was $60 retail now that I think about it. I've been doing my homework and I can't find another rod that compares for anywhere near the same price.
Good things come to those who bait.
G Loomis, no other blanks compare. They have a 1-4 ld rod and a 2-6 lb rod.

Yes go Loomis.
True loomis is great, but from the looks of this other rods I doubt a loomis is what hes looking for.

Berkley Lightin rods are good I like the Med-light in 6'6"I would look at wal-mart or ebay for them
i agree with the berkley lightin rods: about $30 new,lite and i think the metal eyes in the line guides are more sensitive...KP
I like the Extreme from bass pro very well....super sensitive
I like the Berkley Lightning rods as well. They're light action, so you don't rip the lips off, but they're fast action as well, so you can feel the slightest tap right when it happens. I would recommend Silver Thread AN40 co-polymer line or braided line to further enhance the sensitivity.
I just got a Quantum 6'6", and although it's a quality rod, it's a little too flexible for me to feel those light bites.
