rod and reel gone....
well yesterday my wife had an accident, she was casting and the rod and reel went to the bottom, so today i want to get her another set up the rod was the shakespere micro series in 5 and a half ft. the reel was a wally marshall size 75. the reel was ok not as smooth a the pfluegers size 25 but it was lighter, so i am looking for a suggestion on a reel that is light and small. might go for the pflueger size 20. curious does Okuma have anything to fill the bill. any suggestions
chet
on a rod choice for crappie any thoughts on the shakepere micro series in 5.5ft or the berkley cherrywood in UL also in 5.5ft ???? or equivalent

Look at the Ocuma Avenger model. I had used mine hard for 10 years and love it. About the same size as my Pflueger President 20.

I have two BnM TCB Leland Rods with BnM Pro 50 reels, one for my wife and one for me. The are very light, sensitive and tough little rods. I also like the Wally Marshall Speed Shooters which I have 4 (two six footers and two 6.6 footers). The Wally Marshall’s aren’t as light but overall the too are great rods that are tough.

BTW Pflueger masses great reels. I have two Presidents on BnM Russ Bailey Rods and they are super smooth.

I'm confused. Doesn't she know how to swim.
The older I get the more I realize the therapeutic benefits of fishing

she probably would have tried to rescue it 55 yrs ago, but not now after surgery and 6 chemo treatments and 5 radiation treatments, the neuropathy pain is a bit on the harsh side if you know what i mean. but i picked up the same rod today and the shimano sedona 1000 today, gonna try some 4lb again
