Wouldn't that be best for Sardis?

Tin and glass both work well. It's whatever you like, and can afford. Not many Good used rigs out there for a decent price. If there was, I'd have a lot full of em. I get rid of the good ones as fast as I can find them, both aluminum and glass.

Wow! Out of the Cadillac of crappie fishing- into the Mercedes! You go Budro.

Feelay is spot on. Aluminum is too light to not bob in waves or boat wakes. It is annoying at times but, not a deal breaker to me. For a fishing rig, especially one you would fish from week in and out, glass is a no brainer, if you got the pockets. But for me, aluminum can hit the river or small backwaters, or go fish enid or Sardis, and do all well. I weighed options and have a rig to fish, cruise to the sandbar, and hunt. It's all personal preference.
Bill, I didn't even catch that it wasn't an xpress when I glanced at those links. Look VERY similar

I have a 16' aluminum that I use now and plan to keep. I'm looking at adding a 20' or bigger to my fleet.

Pulling cranks, tubes with kids. Jigging timber, joy ride ect

**Rees Guide** · 07-20-2014, 04:49 PM

I plan on building a toon for cranks and longlining too, and use my bass boat for pushing minners, lots of room and make it where you can fish from the back as well so you don't have to fight with the top getting a fish in,

I actually have a 28' toon that stats at Sardis,so I doubt the new boat will ever pull cranks unless I go to another lake. Pulling a 28' around ain't fun so it stays put. Wouldn't mind trying Kentucky Lake, TN River, ect. I'd like to have a big boat for big water. I'd say though it would probably be 60% fishing40% recreation.
