A question for the best crappie fishermen and women in the world

Wannabe, you can answer also. The rod rack that EZ built is one of the best additions I have ever put on my boat. However, I currently have spinning reels on all of my trolling rods. When my rods are in all in the rod rack, the spinning reels hit each other. I'm thinking about going to a low profile reel instead. I really like the ones Yikess has but at $45 each, that can add up.

Or should I take a chance and cheap out with something like these?HT Enterprises Deluxe MC2 Bait Cast Reel.
Or do you all have any other suggestions?
Thanks

Speck, they really just line holders. I put spinnin reals on when feshin deep and the mini bait casters when shallow water feshin. Now ifn you gonna pull cranks or long line, you really need a better reel. Normal shallow water feshin the cheap ones will werk fine.

Thanks Minner. These would strictly be for spider rigging. I have different rods for cranking. I really want something with a level wind and adjustable drag.

Chris, can't you stagger your rods so the reels don't touch, that's what I do, no problem.

If you decide to go the HT check this site out first.

That's what I'm doing now Maj. Maybe that is the way to go!!! Thanks

Thanks Creek. I'll check them out

Take a look at Shaekspeare Axiom or Sigma's. Both sub $30 at Wal-Mart and head and shoulders above the WM. Never held that HT MC2, but doesn't appear to be much of nothing from the pic.

Check with Monks, he sometimes has some waranty rebuilds on the cheap.

I use Shimano baitcasters that I buy of e-bay. I bought like 20 and have 1 reel that probably needs cleaning. Average price is about $20.00.

Hmmm, I'm not qualified to render an opinion on this. What we need is an expert in the field. Somebody with years and years of experience. Somebody at the very top of their game. Yep, DD is the man. If anyone knows anything about staggering, it's him.

Well, actually I attribute it to 3 things:

1) Clean living.

2) A clear conscience.

3) An inner spirit so pure that it beams through my pours and gives me that oh so pretty glow on the outside.

Other than that.....it helps to get lucky sometimes. Hehehehehehehehe
