When I got into Crappie fishing, I quickly bought a bunch of UL gear. I like them... but I'm just really not used to longer, UL stuff. Those 7' UL rods are like thin pool noodles. Ha! They just bend at the slightest touch. I don't know... I'm still a newbie at Crappie fishing, but I wanted to try something different. This may be a mistake, but I'm going to try it anyway - moving to a light power setup for one of my rigs.

I found a Fenwick Elite Light Finesse Spinning Rod (6'3", Light Power) and paired it with a Pflueger President size 20 reel. It's odd, because Pflueger's sizes don't correspond to the normal "size" groupings. My Abu Garcia Revo X size 10 is significantly bigger / holds more line than this reel. Turns out (I wasn't even aware of this until they arrived) - the rod and reel almost match in color (and balance) perfectly.

Looking forward to using this combo soon!

All the best,
Glenn
