I cannot tell a lie, contrary to What Rtark says..lol I do love the single pole, tight lining them crappie, Second in line comes jigs and bobber's. there's just something about that bobber being sucked under that warms my soul, lordy, I do love it! I ain't above casting jigs to them rascals if thats what they want, lets face it,,I love being on the water with a good friend....unless he starts showing out like Rtark did today, I got a severe spanking..I think about 14 to 1...that my friends will humble you. It didn't help that I borke my second rod in as many days....and Rtark, my former friend, smirked..............looking for a NEW fishing partner now adays..lol
