    as far as reels go, I been using some little mitchell spinning reel on all my rods, and then I picked up my buddy's pole for some reason and started fishing with it. He uses the little cheap plastic reel made by bnm. With that rear seat 10' er, its perfect . Now lots of follks ain't gonna like em, cause its too much trouble to pull the line, and reel it back it, and what not, but the way I like to fish, with 2-5' of line out most all day, jigging in some old fallen tree top, its perfect! Its light as a feather, and I can save my back for crossing crappie eyes. Its $5 so if ya don't like it, send it to me, and I'll use it. Oh yeah, get you some 6lb mr. crappie hi viz too. Most them reels come prespooled with it now.

    I met Conway at the Maumelle city exit off I-430 and picked out a 10 ft. Ozark with rear seat. Wanted to try it out on crappie today but didn't want to deal with whitecaps so I dunked crickets in my boat slip. The first fish was a 2lb. Channel. That was fun!!! Gonna get a buddy and go on a guided trip with Conway later this month.

    I prefer the B&M poles but the Ozarks are good too. I'm not much into the longer ones. Clearer water when fish are shallow and spooky, maybe getting your jig loose are about the only pluses I can see to longer poles. My biggest problem with them is they are heavier. I like the light feel of the 10-12' poles at most and their super soft tips. I know guys that swear by poles out to 16' but they can hold them heavy #Y$&#& up all day too! I go with the pleuger spinning reels in about the smallest size they make for less added weight and cause they are super smooth too. Now that being said the last one I got the bail won't stay all the way closed and your line will pile up on one end of the spool???? Don't like that about it but they have super smooth drags. As I've said before on here I like cajun red line in 6LB test too for it's visibility and strength.
