I am getting a new 12' BoneHead crappie rod next week and I'm looking at the Bass Pro Shop Micro Lite Elite to pair it with. I don't have any experience with Bass Pro Shop reels. Anyone have any experience?

Alternatively, I have an 8' ProAngler rod with an Abu Garcia Cardinal STX. And I'm entertaining throwing the Abu on the 12' BoneHead and getting a Daiwa Regal LT to put on the 8' ProAngler. Would this be a better option?

I do mostly crappie, white bass, other panfish, and occasionally largemouth fishing. 90%-95% bank fishing on rivers, small ponds, and sometimes lakes.
