Thread: Rod and reels?

I only cast for crappie. I have two rods that are excellent for crappie. The Tict Ice Cube Rockin' Drift 6' 9" Mebaru UL rod.....and a Major Craft FineTail Banshee Area Trout Rod 6' 7" UL. My reels are a Daiwa Luvias 2004H....a Daiwa Certate 2004CH....Daiwa Ignis Type R 2505H.....and a Shimano Twin Power 2000HGS...all spinning reels.

6ft St Croix Panfish with Stradic 1000 spooled with 2lb fireline for jig flinging. 7ft Cabelas PTC series rod with US 180 Stx reel for slip bobbers. Odd assortment of salmon,BnM, and Pinnacle rods for tightlining and flatlining.

I started out buying rod/reel combos from Cabelas & Bass Pro. Usually a brand-name reel on house-brand rod. The last few rigs were name brand rods and Phlueger, Quantum and Shimano reels.

The beauty of Crappie is you can use whatever kind of rod you want, from cane pole to high dollar set-ups. I have been out fished by my buddy and his catfish pole casting 1/16" jigs on 10 pound mono, and mot wife with a Ugly stick and Zebco 33 reel.

I used to fish with Berkley Ligthin Rods, however I upgraded to St. Croix Premier series ultra lights and Shimano Sedona or Sahara reels. I can cast further than my wife and my buddy. But that doesn't matter when your slip bobber fishing over brush piles. The key question for slip bobber fishing is how easy is it to submerge your bobber. Clsoer you make it neutrally buoyant the better.
