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.

15-20lb braid is what i normally use brand doesn’t matter much
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.

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.
