    Default Which rod


    Have decided to get me some 14 foot rods. About decided on southern crappie rods. Do I get the heavy series or original ones. Spider rig with 3/8 to 1 ounce double jig rigs and am looking at pushing cranks this year. Are the T series sensitive enough with lighter weight rigs?

    With the 143T you will be able to do it all. They are sensitive enough to rigg with and will push 2 oz fine. My 143 are for 1/2 oz weight and are great up to 1 oz but not good for pushing heavier weight with cranks. Fantastic rods.

    I love mine, I use the heavy ones with 1-2oz weights for pushing and spider rigging.

    I've heard good things about the Southern Crappie rods but I have no personal experience. I can give a thumbs up for the Ozark 14' Signature Series Tony Edgar Trolling Rods. I run anywhere from 3/8 - 1oz with no issue. Very sensitive tip. I don't carry a net...lifted a 4lb cat in the boat last weekend...never a concern. Everharts Sporting Goods in Clinton, MO currently has them listed at $39.99 on their website.

    I bought 2 of the regular SCR 14', but I use them for long-lining on my two outside rod holders.

    Well just pulled the trigger on 4 14-3T rods for playing off the front. And a 16-3T for pulling off the side with my other 2 rods. Should do everything that I do in my boat. Moving up from some standard 12-2 pinnacle that have boated a pile of fish. Keeping them for someone to rig off the back of the boat while two of us rig off the front.
