Rod Action for trolling

[captankangaroo]

Buy the best you can afford. You will not regret it. If you plan on up grading later it will save you money. Haven`t used the west points, mine are pst 16`s

B N M BGJP would be my choice.

How about reels for these rods?

Where do you live in NC? I have everything you need. You can come and "feel" all the various actions.

Don't buy Pinnacles if you plan on buying better rods later. I bought them, hated them, and sold them. They are way to heavy for me. Puts to much stress on a normal rod rack. I would wait for the spring fishing classic at bass pro shops or Cabelas if you have one near you. There will be a huge sale on crappie rods. They are having another Crappie Madness Event in a couple of weeks.

I am very happy with my 14' B'n'M BGJP's that I use for spider rigging; I have 6 now but buying more at the Grizzly's Spring show this week. I just use the small B'n'M crappie reel since I don't normally have to reel any line in to boat crappie.

Academy Sports has the BGJP's on sale sometimes for $30 up to twelve foot. Was going to get a bunch for longlining but bought the Mr. Crappie rods for $7 a piece! STEAL!

Any opinions on the Mr. Crappie rods? They seem to be more in the middle price range.

[Gabepeeps]

Haven't used them for spider rigging, but they are great rods. I have the graphite rods which cost more money than the fiberglass rods. Not a big fan of fiberglass except for throwing crank baits when bass fishing. Fiberglass has a lot of flex to it which doesn't help detect light bites. There is a site, BigSupplyShop.com | Big Supply Shop | Authorized Dealer , that sells them for an excellent price. They may not have quantity but will definitely help cutdown on the costs.

Is the Crappie Madness at every BPS? or online sales?
