My own experience/preference of crappie poles (y'all may not like this)

[MartyTX19]

Good write up! I tightline for crappie probably 90% of the time and like to hear what other folks use and have success with in the terms of sensitivity. Sometimes you feel the thump and others the line goes slack, then throw in a 8-10mph wind and it gets really tuff to feel anything.

Where did you buy the Master Crappie Grabber ? I cant find them.

My .02 I use an old fenwick steelhead rod 81/2 footer. It works great for tightlining, and in the breeze. But when it goes WFO, I prefer my shorter rods, like 51/2 to 6 footers. Alot easier to lip em with it then the long rod. I prefer to let mine go, as I enjoy redear and bluegiil fillets more then crappie. The fenwick is rated 6-17#

great info.
My question for you is this. What is the rod material used in each of the poles you mentioned? Or more importantly, what is the rod material in the pole you like best.

I have two 12' B&M Sam Heaton Super Senesitive rods for tight lining. Havent tried them out yet, but I did put reels on them the other day. I've had them for a year and half now : ).

Let me shoot you my address and I'll do a little field testing for you and get some of the "misses" out of em for you.
