Cheap 10 foot rods for jigging?

[Les Young]

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?

I’ve got several of the $19.98 shimano fx 2500 from Walmart that I use & they work great.
