I got myself 8 southern crappie pro 14 ft rods, spooled with 8 pound viscous line, and with jigs heads from lite wire jigs out of Georgia. I have dabbled with tightlining a little but figured I would bite the bullet and get some real equipment. Cant wait til we get some weather!
Where did you get your SC rods? Thinking about trying them, but I have only seen them on their website. Monks Crappie will be at the Sportsman's Classic next week in Columbia. Anybody know if he carries them?
Sounds like you are setup and ready. Been looking at those rods also. May break down and order a few.
The Crappie Hole in Chapin has a large supply Ray. Mark Danque is the owner. Better call him first and make sure he isn't out fishing before making that drive.

I use SCR rods and I love them. I have use a lot of different ones and SCR's are the best that you can longline and tightline with. Marc at Crappie Hole will save you money on shipping but like Inkdabber said call first before you go. phone 345-5606Quote:

I will call first, it is a hike over there.

Dang Sea Ray, now you got me thinking about more rod holders!! I have drift masters but am thinking about some different ones, maybe adjustable. What does his look like? Adjustable pitch?Quote:

OK, Butch is gonna say, "Hey that's my boat, and it is". When I fished with Butch I liked the way he had his set up. These are simple to use and to adjust the height you simply bend it up or down. The tension on the shaft is determined by how tight you set the nut underneath and with a little practice you can get it so you can move it left or right just by twisting it and up and down by bending it.
I got mine from Dooleys. He gets them in bulk from Marc and charges about the same as Marc does I think.
I am at work and the best picture I could find was the one I took in Butch's boat so I posted it.

PS
I also copied Butch's method of rod storage with the PVC pipe and Ts mounted to the back of the holders.

Good luck hope you tear them up
Thanks Ray, those look nice and pretty light as well.Quote:

They are light but they'll still hold a big fish since it's all in the drag anyway.
OK, gotta get me some....definetley don't want to loose any rods.
Ray, I enjoyed your perch jerking article on the main board, looks like yall had a great day!
