    Default Ozark 10' spinning rod


    Picked up a sweet 10' Ozark spinning rod @ the Arthur expo this weekend, compliments of Camo and was entertaining thoughts on a reel to pair it with? I'm a Shimano man since '85 and am not opposed to sticking with them, just wanted to throw this out there since we are still a little ways away from open water. As how I plan to use this outfit, I'll b using it to catch crappie, lots of big old heavy shouldered crappie!y

    Are you casting or jigging, for jig rods in water under 20' I use the fly reel type. I'm just letting line out and feeling with my other hand. If you are jigging deep water I use a spinning reel 6920 or 6930 Pflueger President. With over 80 rods I have a setup for any situation.

    I'm a Shimano user too ... love the Spirex and that quickfire release of bail. It can handle the big crappie with ease. For what it's worth.

    Thanks men, I'm still deciding, I have a 1/2 dozen Shimano's due in any day from Prairie Outfitters in Charleston, but they all have rods to go on. I will go with Shimano I'm guessing unless i see something from Pflueger that changes my mind.
