Opinion on rear seat rod

[GreenLine]

This Slater reel is what I started using on one of my rear seat poles.
Now This is the only reel I use for single pole fishing. It won’t twist the line and line works better thru the guides.
Can mount it anywhere on any pole.
I use them on my Berkeley C series crappie rods.

10’ rear seat is all I use jig fishing! Most of my jig fishing is done during the spawn to pretty shallow water! My favorite is a ozark! I have a acc crappie stix that I like a lot to.... never need to reel fish so all mine have a bucks mini reel spooled with braid!

Thank you! What color do you suggest for me? Should I be using a hivis color to see bites better. I'm new sorry for all the questions. I fish Kansas lakes.

This is on the NE side of Topeka. They carry a wide selection of crappie rods. They are good guys that will help you out. They have ACC and several other top brands to choose from. I use #20 lb hiviz braid and fish all over Kansas and Oklahoma. I tie directly to the jig with no leader.

Any color is fine just personal preference… our water is heavy stain so anything works

In my opinion a rear seat would have to be extremely light before i could use them because of an old shoulder injury & i own a barely used 13 foot acc crappie stix crossover rod. I really like the rod but just can't use it without getting extreme pain after about a hour & a half so i went with the original cork 10 footer.
