i just got a PM that the pro angler is real close to the ACC tip a bit on the stiff side. so not gonna chance it,

I just cut my line, removed my reel, and weighed it: The SP65Gn weighs in at 3.4 Ounces

I have the 8’ pro angler rod somewhere in the mail....lol. Hope to have before next weeks trip out.

Another rod you may consider is the Denali Pryme 6’6” spinning rod. This is one on my list that I want to try.

Denali Rods - Pryme Series - Crappie/Panfish

I have a 5.5’ pro angler and I really like it ! Can feel the thump with it better than most that I have ever used!
the tip is no where near as stiff as the acc that I have felt of which are still great rods just on the stiff side for me !

I posted a thread titled “Anyone use an ACC crappie stix for casting” just recently...I also linked a video in it as well showing how the ACC’s tip responds to weight. You should have a look. After reviewing that video and hearing constantly how it’s too stiff, I didn’t buy it. I cast and retrieve small jigs mainly so I knew that wouldn’t be the best for that. I stopped trying to find the “perfect rod” at the lower price ranges, and went all out and ordered a St. Croix Panfish Series LOL….its expensive no doubt, but that’s because the materials and quality craftsmanship are top notch. I own other St. Croix rods so I know their awesomeness. I knew I had to add this to my arsenal! It’ll be here this week, I can’t wait to fish it.

St. Croix makes some very good rods.
