How do you fish. Jigging? Trolling? Casting?

Jigging And casting
You should go to a store or get with somebody who has one your interested in and handle them. What I feel is the best to me might not be for you.
As far as Jig Poles...Quote:

There are pros and cons to both...
BnM IMO, has a better feel, especially the Brush Cutter, but they have "Jankey" eyes.
Ozark has cork handles "which I prefer" and very nice eyes.
I prefer a "Trigger Spin" or "Under Spin" reels on my jig poles.
I will never again buy a BnM untill they do something about the eyes!
Now if your one of them "Spider Riggers" I guess none of the above really matters... Bamboo would probably work just fine... ROFL.
As far as casting...
Crappie fishing, being that your not throwing much weight... IMO a spinning rod and reel is a must.
Walmart carries Abu Garcia Cardinal rods, I prefer the 6'6" Light/Med with the Abu Garcia Cardinal 101 spinning reel.
The Rod and Reel will set you back about $80. Parts are available for these reels.
Hope this helps.
I started using 12' B-n-M Bucks Jig poles but do not like the new model with metal eyes. I have a 12' Ozark and happy with it for verticle jigging. I have a old 8' B-n-M jig pole for casting. If you want advice on poles and jigs to buy contact MEATGETTER as he sells several types.
Welcome to the site...You can't go wrong when your fishing in the Ozarks Baby!!! Dang I should be a marketer. HAHA!!!
Welcome to the site from Fayetteville. currently, for jigging I use Ozark and Todd Huckabee rods. The 10' Ozark is very light, extremely sensitive and has a good backbone.

Welcome, I like my Ozark in 11' and 10' for jigging with great backbone
Ozark for me because of the light weight, backbone and titanium tip.
I broke my favorite jig pole sunday and will be replacing with an Ozark. Is there anyone in the Little Rock area selling them?
I dont have any Ozarks.......yet, so I can't speak on em'. My favorite jig pole(I have 8) is a 10' Berkley Cherrywood. Awesome backbone, lightweight and super-sensitive. I will be getting some Ozarks very soon though.

Wish I wouldn't have read this. I am no longer satisfied with my B&M poles. Will have to look at getting an Ozark.
The rear seated 11 foot Ozark rod is my choice for open water jigging or jigging from a boat longer than 16 foot in heavy cover and is not heavy IMO but is heavier than some flimsey 11 foot rods with little back bone and a weak tip. The weight of your reel in the back makes it feel even better, more balenced and gives you more reach than a reel forward rod. The 11 foot Ozark rod is the perfect rod with just the right mixture or strength, bend, sensitivity and backbone. It is well suited for 1/8th Oz Jig heads or better in deepwater and performs equally well in tough shallow cover. The titanium tip designed by Midsouth man is built to go down and punch that jig out and is a rock solid constructed tip with no eyelet to break out. Try one out Rookie 40Quote:

I love to fish them around tight quarters like cypress trees, docks, and stumps when I am fishing out of my small boat. Man you just havent felt a thump until you feel one through a 10 foot Ozark rod. Sometime I fish the 10 footer just to feel the lightning bolt strikes come up it. Both are great rods Rookie 40 and CrappiePro approved brother. Trust me I would not steer you wrong unless were fishing together on a foggy morning somewhere. LOL Hope this helps.
Thanks CP, that was exactly the report I was looking for because I know they have been not only CP approved but have fished the same water and techniques that I do. I will have one of these 11 footers shortly boys and hopefully some slabs to display.
