    Default Cheap 10 foot rods for jigging?


    Want to pick up a couple cheap but decent 10 footers to jig & pitch with livescoping for when other folks go with me that don't have crappie gear. I have a couple buddys young sons that have wanted to go for quite awhile & they don't have any gear so figured if i could pick up a couple rods that were pretty light & not the bank either i'd get a couple for just when the situation comes up. What do you guys suggest that would be pretty light & durable & cheap that would hold up? Thanks

    The Hi-tech spec crappie rod for 30.$ is a pretty good rod for not much money. I have one that has held up pretty good ,fairly sensitive and very light.

    Thanks Do you think they'd be alright with 15lb braid?

    Shakespeare Crappie Hunter rods come inn 10 and 12 foot lengths. Not as light as some, but durable and around $30. Available at Wally World and most other retailers.

    I’ve checked it out at Walmart & thought it was kind of heavy & flimsy too.

    I bought a 10 ft from Academy Sport for about $25. It is okay - my wife will like it. I'm gonna stick with 7 and 7.5 ft rods. The 7.5s are ugly stick bait casters but noodle like and be good for specs.
