Southern crappie rod in 14. I have them in 14 and 12. I have 2 other sets of 12's and a set of 14 Denali rods I love. The southern's are tough as nails, very forgiving and were designed to be fished with 1/2 oz weight. Very sensitive but good back bone. I started with 12's and wish I had started with 14. Buy them once and go fishing. I fish out of a stick steer and have no problem with the 14 by myself. Plus in a good quality rod they are cheapest out there.
