i want to try a long rod for vert jigging

[chetc]

one thing i don't have for crappie fishing a long rod to try my hand at vert fishing. i currently have an UL shakespeare 5.6 ft micro series, a 6ft B&M speed shooter, and a 7ft daiwa presso light action, i want to try a longer rod this time, looking for some input on a 12' rod that is reasonable to see if i like it before i spend a ton of money on a rod,

My personal experience is that 12' rods are a bit out of balance. I've built rods for 20yrs and my preference is a good 9' rod with microwave or airwave guides(that eliminates the line flap) which allow much longer and accurate casts. Everybody to his own, just me sayin!
Good luck and stay safe!!!!

hi nubster
i was not aware that casting was not something that can be done with longer rods

chet
ps most video's i watch the fisherman are basically underhand casting, i appreciate your thoughts on max length of 9ft, but would i be better vert jigging as far away from the boat as possible

I have 4 14ft southern crappie rods and use them for spider rigging and am very pleased with them. I also have a 12ft ACC that I use with LiveScope and it is my favorite of the 9-12 ft poles I have, plenty of backbone and sensitivity. I’m pondering a 13 ft ACC next or a 12ft rear seat.

I have them from 8 ft to 13 ft. Depending on where and how you are fishing. Using 12-13 for live scope but if just sitting over brush pile or stake bed I prefer 10-11 ft. I’m high on 2 rods. 10 Duck commander double touch and 11ft Jenco Hypersense rear seat. Really light and really strong. I also have a Denali 11 ft regular seat that seems to be nice rod just haven’t used it much yet. Only 12 I have used is PST and it’s awful heavy. If looking for 12 ft Southern Crappie, ACC crappie six and Jenco all make nice rods

I like the sam heaton super sensitive 12' with the bottom seat...

If you plan on holding them all day, get the jenko hypertense. Light but strong. Cypress creeks are good rods to use in holders.
