Hats off to Southerncrappie poles, after yesterday I know I made the right choice when setting up my spider rig equipment, I run 4- 14ft Southerncrappie poles which are a graphite/kevlar mix, I hooked into a 10# channel cat and then a whale of a Blue cat that was pushing 25#'s, I use 6# hi vis mono so it took about ten minutes to land the Blue, and my pole at times was almost bent in half! :biggrin
