Cheapskate Alert !

[Ketchn]

$13.00 dollars brings the cost per pound down significantly.. As my wife sorta sarcastically says these are the best $20.00 a pound crappie fillets I ever ate.

the going price last time I checked on crappie was 100 bucks for 5 lbs of fillets out of Canada , just saying .....

I mean you can catch them with a stick and string anything beyond that is luxury. I'm sure $13 combo is way better than some other countries use to catch fish.

My “pop” used to use a stick and cotton line and a grasshopper and hammer well with it .
But all kidding aside that set up is balanced well and has nice action and bet money it will hang with expensive stuff in longevity IF ....he don’t break it first ,,,,,

I don’t think I want to left my wife read this post cause I’ll be grounded for life!

Say what you will and laugh all you desire. My cheapskate rod has caught many a fishy thing.

I upgraded from a sassafras cane pole to a metal zebco 33 with a rod so stiff you could not break it in car door....... and just to mention I had to run the cows out the pond two out of three times where I fished. Bait was caught or dug on site (cattle), and sure caught a lot of fish in those plain and simple days.

Been using these quite some time as I considered them disposable so when I flipped my kayak I didn't lose a ton of money!

Had several of those Zebco 202's back in the day. They had a distinct noise when they were being reeled in.

shake my spear makes a few right nice rods and reels for cheap
the 7 foot crappie rod is quite the hammer stick in the right hands for sure
balanced pretty well , a bit of back bone and fairly sensitive
and they ACTUALLY have a cork handle for around 20 bucks
laugh it up , but some other fella is holding 300 bucks worth in his hand and not ketchn , and that there other fella is just smoking fish with one , it might not be near as humorous

I’ve tried for a year and haven’t been able to get my hands on the 7’ light micro series rod. Always sold out.
