How do you fish. Jigging? Trolling? Casting?

Jigging And casting

You should go to a store or get with somebody who has one your interested in and handle them. What I feel is the best to me might not be for you.

Jigging And casting

As far as Jig Poles...
Ozark makes a fine jig pole.
BnM makes some good ones.
There are pros and cons to both...

BnM IMO, has a better feel, especially the Brush Cutter, but they have "Jankey" eyes.
Ozark has cork handles "which I prefer" and very nice eyes.
I prefer a "Trigger Spin" or "Under Spin" reels on my jig poles.

I will never again buy a BnM untill they do something about the eyes!
Now if your one of them "Spider Riggers" I guess none of the above really matters... Bamboo would probably work just fine... ROFL.

As far as casting...
Crappie fishing, being that your not throwing much weight... IMO a spinning rod and reel is a must.
Walmart carries Abu Garcia Cardinal rods, I prefer the 6'6" Light/Med with the Abu Garcia Cardinal 101 spinning reel.
The Rod and Reel will set you back about $80. Parts are available for these reels.

Hope this helps.

I started using 12' B-n-M Bucks Jig poles but do not like the new model with metal eyes. I have a 12' Ozark and happy with it for verticle jigging. I have a old 8' B-n-M jig pole for casting. If you want advice on poles and jigs to buy contact MEATGETTER as he sells several types.

Welcome to the site from Fayetteville. currently, for jigging I use Ozark and Todd Huckabee rods. The 10' Ozark is very light, extremely sensitive and has a good backbone.
