Never thought I'd be spending this much just to crappie fish but if it works I don't mind spending the cash on the equipment. I know I was actually getting a headache trying to find the right poles and reels I wanted. Went to bass pro and cabelas trying to find 8 same reels and poles and never could get more than 3 a piece so finally said screw that and ordered the stuff online
You will be just fine with the 12's. I have a set of Pinnacle 12's and PST 12's I have caught a ton of fish on. I went to the SouthernCrappie in 14 because I liked the pole plus I fish out of a stick steer and it puts me back a couple of feet more than most guys fish. Just like the little bit more clearance from troller.
