At BPS today I looked at some super long 12'+ crappie rods. What's the purpose and advantage of a rod that long? How do you fish it? It is solely for jigging?

Last year I bought a couple of bags of Blakemore Roadrunner heads with the spinners. I've been using them with 3" grubs in various colors and have been doing quite well catching bass and pickeral with them. I understand this is a respectable crappie lure as well. Does anyone here use them for crappie, and if so, how?

Thanks.
