Time to spend some money in a new rod reel We won 250.00 in bass pro cards and 240.00 for this fish last weekend in the 3rd annual mustache classic at high rock. Lucked up and won it last year as well. 28-29 boats in it this year. Y'all missed a fun time.

Looking to spend my half of the bass pro cards(125.00) for a rod/reel that can cast a light jig good.
I got a 7' ultra light from bass pro in Cary(Raleigh). It has a backbone but a fast taper tip. I put a shamono 1000 stradic on it with 8#Power Pro braid 1#Dia. It will really whip them out but will also handle a big fish. Shoots dock well also.
A Bass Pro 6'6'' med light Tourney Special with a Shimano Sedona 2500 or Sahara 2500 with 6# Nanofil will fit what your looking for.
You should have your own show "one more rod will get it done ". ;)
Haha. Yea. Couldn't you see me casting a jig to the bank with a 16' rod all day on tv.Quote:

Bass Pro Crappie Maxx Pro series (9') med-lt and berkely( 10 lb test, 4 lb dia) nano-fill!! can cast a 1/16 oz jig a long ways or jig fish!!!
Guess one more opinion won't hurt :) I use a B&M Sharpshooter for all my light jig casting. This 5.5' rod has a lot of backbone (made for shooting docks), and casts really well with a small diameter limp line like nanofil. I've used a lot of different rods, but I think one is my favorite for it's maneuverability along with the distance I can get with it.
Thanks for all the input. You guys are great help.
U don't need a new rod u need to buy a rod for ur daughter to go with that reel at the social.Don't let us catch u using her reel on a new rod for u lol.
Now that's a thought! Crappie happy would get me though. HahaQuote:
