What's your favorite rod to use?

[yobuck]

I suppose much has to do with your preferred method of fishing.
Or did i miss that part?

I have an Okuma two piece 5' rod CE-S-502UL-1. Rated for 1-4 pound line ans I have SOS 2# on the reel.

I have never fished an expensive rod. The brands I have used the most??? Shakespear and BnM. So them, I recon.

Jenko ' S"TRICK STICK LIGHT " and B/M 'S 7 FT SPINNING ROD .

[Ketchn]

I carry 5 minimum in my truck at all times .....
Garcia Vigilante 7 one pc
Bonehead 7 one pc
Dobyns 6 one pc
Allstar 56 one pc
Ozark trail 56 one pc
They all cast well in my opinion in the right situations , but I prefer the 7s for long range casts and hooksets
In tight quarters the Dobyns 6 is my go to next
The other short rods are mostly dock rods , but cast as well as the others
I gauge the rod lengths and sizes to match the potential fish sizes and spots I hit
I always have a very definitive plan when I step out of my vehicle in pursuit of them crappie fish

From what I read on different sites, not maany people plan much. have read a bit about what rod to get for catfish and seem's obvious to me the rod will depend on a number of thing. Like the size of fish your after especially. A bullhead is a catfish but a 2# one is huge and does not require the same equipment as a 100# blue you might be looking for. I was happy to see you put that little bit in there. My lightest UK spinning rod will work fine on bullheads. But if I wass targeting fish over about 30# the rod for me would be my sturgeon rod! Everything else my round level winds.

I went redfish and speckled trout fishing in LA and the guide had some sarge custom rods and a few bucoo. He used the bucoo bc clients were breaking his $250 rods. I really liked the bucoo and so did he, and he thought they were a good value at $100. Where you getting them for $50??

I have been using this Falcon Bucoo (6ft.) spinning rod lately and it has become a favorite. This rod being $50 is super affordable too.

Sorry my first reply above didn't respond directly to your OP. Where are you able to find these for only $50? That's a steal, they're normally $100 or more

I haven't done a ton of Crappie fishing in my life (casually fished for them occasionally for the first 50+ years), but I'm fishing a new lake to me a lot in retirement and so have started Crappie fishing a fair bit. Most of the rods that I've been using were rods that I used for big Yellow perch in deep, clear water and they all work reasonably or very well. On the lake I'm fishing now, I still prefer a 6'6"-7' rod and like an UL action with a fast action for good hook sets with lots of line out (or wind, etc.). The two that I've started picking up more than any of the others are Denali Pryme series, one-piece spinning rods, one in 6'6" UL-fast action and the other in 6'9" UL-mod-fast action. I've mostly been casting to brush or open-water fish, but have used both of these rods for dock shooting as well. I think they retail at $60-70 and I'd call them a fair deal at that price.
