You want to "discuss" brand/price/action of long rods ... have at it. You will get multiple opinions on which ones are "the best". The same with line, reels, baits, rod holders, weight size, speed, live bait vs artificial vs both together, plain hook vs jig, which style hook the jig should have or what size plain hook you should use, and even how many you should have on the line (and whether the weight should be above them, below them, or in between them).

Thing is (IMHO) ... they all work !!

If memory serves me ... the more popular 14' rods are :

BnM Capps/Coleman - or - Southern Crappie scr143's for "spider rigging"

BnM Pro Staff Trolling rods - or - Southern Crappie scr143t's for "crank pushing"

The BnM C/C is listed at ~$52 & the PST at ~$48 at Grizzly Jig Company (both rods are eligible for their 3rod 9.5% discount deal)

Southern Crappie scr143 is listed at ~$42 & the scr143t at ~$47 at Southern Crappie Rods (Southern Crappie rods in 12-16' lengths are Kevlar/carbon composite)
Don't forget BnM Uncle Bucks 14 ft jigging poles (BGJP143-N)

You can read down about half way in this article about my use of the Uncle Bucks (http://www.crappie.com/crappie/conte...south-carolina). Love them for jigging the pads and spider rigging. Multi purpose.
