After taking inventory on my crappie fishing rod and reels (I mostly fish poles and minnows) looks like I need a few (4 or 5) rod and reels. I dropped by Wally World today and checked out what they have. They have a rack of cheap rods for $7 and Abu Garcia (C101's or something like that) spinning reels for $20. Those cheap rods all say Med. action and go between 6' and 6.5' long and they seem plenty flimsey out on the ends so they wont be so stiff when a crappie is a finicky feeder. Has anybody bothered getting set up with any of these el-cheapos or am I better off getting some quality stuff even though it's gonna cost me WAY MORE money? I also noticed they have complete 8' fly rod outfits in packs for $20. (We all know how flimsey flyrods are. They make a good rod for pole fishing with minnows or jigs and they already have eyelets on them if you later decided to add a spinning reel with some tape.) Has anyone ever tried regular 6 lb. mono on those flyrod reels for tightlining crappie using rod holders? All of their ultra light combos are short 5' rods which dont really interest me. What say you guys?!? :rolleyes:
