Neighbor has been replacing some of the boards on his privacy fence. When he puts the old boards at the road for pickup, I grab them. They're 6 foot long and I can take about 5 or 6 a trip. I'm pushing them in the bottom, then hammering them in. They're light weight and not pressure treated so probably won't last more than a year or two but didn't cost me anything.
First couple hook sets that rod would have broke. That thin of a graphite tip with that reel would have caused the rod to bend backwards.Quote:

I've got two of the Okuma SST Kokanee Graphite Rods, SST-C-762L. They seem to have enough back for jig and bobber, but light enough they don't pull a hook through a Crappie's mouth. Both have Zebco Omega Spincast reels in size 20.
I was gonna but a small President to put on it but haven’t had the chance to get one. I had the old zebco laying around and just stuck it on to do some single pole with. Never thought about it breaking it. I lost it somewhere between the put in and where it runs out into the bigger water.Probably when I got out to drag.

I got a couple of the president size 50 when Academy sports had them on clearance. They are super smooth. I got the B & M 11 ft Sam super sensitive with the back reel seat. Very light and very sensitive. It has the little b & m reel on it. Link is for the 10 ft.

Sounds like it is time to order a B&M tree thumper and let the duck commander lieQuote:

I've been using the Shakespeare Crappie Hunter 10 foot for years. You'll need a light, smooth drag to keep from breaking the pole but I love them and they're dirt cheap. They usually have them at Academy, but recently I had to order them on Walmart.com []Robot or human?. I routinely get in 10-pound catfish on 6-pound line, it's all about the drag on the reel!
I’ve got a 10ft sk with mr crappie solo reel that does pretty good. I liked the 8 ft for getting up in trees and not having a lot of room to operate. I fished with a member and he let me use it and I liked it. He ended up giving it to me a couple weeks ago and I just hadn’t got a good reel to put on it.

I found your rod and reel today. Rod was broken but I grabbed the reel. I'll have it in the truck next time you see me. It will take some cleaning up, but the old Zebco 33 steel reels last forever!
I appreciate it. Means a lot because it was my dads reel. I have another of his or I would have never used that one. Thanks.
