    Take a look at B n' M Sam Heaton Super Sensitive (SHSS) rod in 7' length. It will do the job.

    My question is : Why such a short rod for "vertical jigging" ?? Or was that what you meant by "brush jigging" ??

    I use a 10' rod when vertical jigging (Sam Heaton - soft action) ... or I could use a 9' rod (ESP - very fast action) but those are just the ones I have.

    Oh I do like that rod. Good rod for more than just dock shooting.

    BnM Sharpshooter would be good for jigging for a short rod. I have one and really like it.

    i got within a frog hair of buying a BnM 6 foot sharpshooter and for sure if I "needed" a rod that would hammer in the 6 foot range that would be a top end choice for me .
    as far as vertical jigging with a short rod length its highly possible to be better then average at ketchn crappie with a short rod , this much I know quite factually .
