Southern Crappie rods are great rods for the money. If you just have to buy from grizzly look at the jimmy Houston pro series. They supposed to be a pretty good rod. They have 2 styles one has foam and one has cork for handles. Buddy of mine has fished them for about 4 years and swears by them. And this is a diehard crappie fisherman that fishes a lot. I talked to wade one time and he told me the rods were exactly the same except for handle material.
