I am in the market to finally upgrading to 16' rods. I have spent the last three seasons get familiar with spider rigging with 12' rods and in my experience, I have noticed an increase watching others and using 14 and 16' rods. Being from NC, I am very interested in Southern Crappie Rods as he is a couple hours down the road. I guess my question is, if I spider rig typically with 1 ounce or less, would you opt for the 163T models or the medium action 163's?

I may consider other options, but so far these have been at the top of my list. Others I am considering are BnM BGJP, ACC Crappie Stix, and Jenko Spider Troll. Any input on these, as well as the SCR rods would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
