What is the best rod, I have reels, to use, I am not so new to crappie fishing but being in the military I am in Missouri where I can fish for them now, I was stationed at Fort Lewis, Wa and the crappie fishing was not so good up there, the trout was awesome though. I would like to know how long of a rod to use and all of that stuff that goes with it. I can't afford a lot for a rod, having a new son three weeks ago. Thanks for any information.
