I like to shoot docks. So I like the ultra lite gear. My favorite spinning reel happens to be a Shakespeare sigma 200A that I purchased about 30 yrs ago. It’s mounted on a 4’6” MR Crappie rod, loaded with 4lb vicious hi vis line.
I have a St Croix Triumph lite spinning rod with a Shimano 2500 reel I can cast a 1/16 oz jig easily Just make sure your rod is long enough to go around the front of your yak.
If vegetable oil is made from vegetables, what's baby oil made from?

8' Pro Angler or 8' ACC Crappie Stik
I have the Shakespeare 10 and 12' Crappie Hunter rods with under spin, trigger spin reels.

I have spent a bunch of money in the past on high dollar rod and reels. I started using a 7 foot Zebco crappie taker rod and Lew's spinning reel and I love it. The sensitivity is great and a very good backbone. I also have the same rod in a 10 foot they are both great for the money
I really like my Wally Marshall Pro Series rod and reel from Lews. If it’s good enough for Mr. Crappie it’s good enough for me!
I like my 5ft. UL Ugly Stik w/ Shimano Spirex 1000 loaded with 4lb. Stren. It fits the bill for me.
I have a bunch of rods I like, my favorite varies, but right now it is my StCroix Trout Series 6' UL rod with Daiwa Luvias 1003. I just got the reel, put 4 lb Mr Crappie line on, and I really like it. Been throwing jigs - only problem is, I have not caught a single crappie on it yet! It cranks in shellcrackers real nicely, though!
