Might have to make a trip if someone has any recommendations from those two retailers. Thanks for all the emails about suggestions too!
I like my 12 ft Bass Pro Tightline specials. I just bought two 14ft rods to go with them. That gives me 6 rods up front to spider rig. I plan on using the 14 footers in the middle above the TM. I use Mitchell Avanti reels that I bought from Walmart with all of them.

I have six Crappie Maxx from Bass Pro that are 12 ft long I use when I fish brush.

I just started crappie fishing last year, the more experienced folks may use different stuff from me. Like you, just learning and loving all the time I get to spend on the water.
