I was at Academy in Orlando this weekend looking at rods. They had a nice selection of lengths and brands. I guess the store brand was Tournament Choice - $19.99. Obviously, for the price the quality is not as good but seemed like a decent crappie pole for spider rigging? What is the difference between TC and BnM or Mr Crappie or Berkley which were $39 to $69? Weight? Anybody use the TC rods? Thanks for the input. I guess I could buy one of each and see which one I like best - but Im always on a budget - I'm married!
