Used new pole for first time...

[silverside]

I tried out my new BnM jigging pole with a Wally Marshall crappie reel. The pole was great. The reel is now crappie structure.

Great on the pole and hopefully you marked the GPS on that new structure

What made ya pitch the reel? Those reels are made for jigging or trolling only... I had a few and actually liked them. I just restrung them with better line and set the drag where I wanted it. Worked like a charm for me.

I also restrung, with BPS Excel. It worked good the first half of the day, but then it would not wind up. Also the diameter of the 8# line was small enough to get between the spool and side case. I could crank and crank on the handle but the spool would not turn. If I took it apart and put back together it would maybe work another hour then stop cranking again.

I am with you, those doggone things are awful!! I bought two of the underspin reels (40.00) a pop and both of them were awful. One was actually stolen out of my boat while I was getting minners here a couple of weeks ago! I pity the fool that stole it!

Those rods are second to none.

This is a good place to learn about crappie and a great place just to hang out.
