good 6.5 fr crappie rod

[Ketchn]

Only if you’re using it as a kite.

a nice solid stick will hold way steady in high wind , a light straw not so much

To each, his own.

However, I pity the rod company who’s advertising slogan is: “Are you green and go by ‘Hulk’ in the Avengers? Then you will love our new HEAVY rods! Even that pansy Thor won’t be able to lift them!”

5oz? Really? Is it made of pure lead?

If those are your choices, I’d go with the ACC. I’ll almost always pick the lighter rod.

if i might ask, what would be a better choice, i do have the wally marshall signature series in 7ft ( a tad noodle effect) and the wally marshall pro series in 6ft along with the BnM 6ft sharpshooter, i think i might like a 7 1/2 footer next and the ACC looks like i might like it, but i am open for something similar ,

I’m not familiar with any of those rods. In that price range, I’d get a BnM TCB or a Bass Pro Fish Eagle (f/k/a Cabela’s Fish Eagle.)

The B 'n' M Leland's 6'6" TCB (trout crappie bream) rod that I mentioned earlier in this thread, I received it and have fished with it several times and IMO, it is quite a bargain. It cost $70 and includes a reel. The reel is nothing special but it functions because I have been using it and with no issues. This rod is somewhat similar to JDM rods but much less delicate, much less expensive. This rod is hardier because the tip section is not nearly as tiny as JDM rods. Only the user can say whether it's the better buy for himself but as for something in a similar style as JDM UL rods, this one will be hard to beat for the price. JDM rods cost, generally, $225 or so and higher.
