Thoughts?

I know this will probably sound odd to a lot of you hard core Crappie guys, but I like a 6'8"-7' ML rod with XFast action rated for 1/16thoz- 5/16thoz baits for tackling crappie. The places I fish i am likely to catch anything from a 20lb Buffalo down to a 2oz Bass. I like that style of rod as it has enough backbone and sensitive tip.

I had previously used a G Loomis Mossyback BSR 801 that was perfectly matched for what I did. I broke it and that rod is no longer offered by Loomis.

So can someone point me in the direction of someone that would make something similar to that?

You re correct, I still have not found anything and was hoping someone might have accidentally run across something and this jog their memory

Have you looked at the ESP 6'6" or 7' PowerLite ( Power Lite rods – Norsemen Outdoors )

They have a very fast action tip, micro guides/tip, Graphite Tenn style handle w/reel holding rings, blank thru handle with metallic disks around the blank & in contact with the handle for greater vibration sensitivity.

The Norsemen Outdoors link above is for ease of viewing the rod & its features ... Grizzly Jigs has a lower price (about $10 lower) Grizzly Jig Company - ESP Series

Shake my spear makes a great 7 foot rod and to be sure its a dandy cheap rod ….myself and even the "semi" legendary Sk
use them frequently and hurt a terribly high number of lips on fish and some are flat out large fish, not just crappie …..
of course the sky is the limit and you could spend lots more if you like .
