I am looking for a new vertical jigging rod for fishing light brush and cover. I have three in mind that I have narrowed it down to and need to get yalls options. Either a Southern Crappie 10ft. A 10 or 11 ft ACC Crappie Stix rod. Or a Denali Pryme 10 ft rod. Anybody own any of these with any opinion good or bad?

No opinions on those but I wouldn't trade my Todd Huckabee Dipping rod and Pfleuger President for anything. Every fish I pull out of the brush is cross eyed... and I'm pretty sure it ain't genetics. LOL Lots of great rods out there in the 10ft range, just hard to find a place where you can actually hold each and every one to make that choice.
I have a ten foot Sam Heaton SS with the rear reel seat and really like. I won it and even tried to sell it at one point, but I’m glad no one took it. Good tip and enough middle to control bigger fish. Hold one of these before you buy any other.
"It ain't genetics"..... One of the best lines ever!Quote:

I think it's called an eyecon or something like that. One of my favorite rods. I also have the Huckabee Pro. I use it for heavier pitching.

You mite get yourself a good rod and get a 10' Ozark
Forgot to mention. Both my ACC rods are the older red series. I think the green series are a lighter action rod.

I got two of the 10' Southern Crappie Rods and have liked them very much.
ACC 10' REAR SEAT.
I really like my 10ft duck commander double touch. Real light with lots of back bone.
I like my Todd Huckabee rod the best and I've had a bunch.
ACC is the ticket...spring 2018 a new line and a new length is coming out....get on this ban wagon...awesome rods....ive sold all bnm ozark I don't buy anything but acc...just try one and see

I have a BPS super light 12', It is fine and super light with enough backbone to work the brush tops. don't know the #, but it is the green rod. I also have a couple of super light 10' rods, that don't have enough backbone to drag Crappie out of heavy brush. All are rear mount reel seats.
I've been very pleased with my 12 foot Berkley C Series rod for general single pole fishing. I use a 11 foot Slater during the spawn when I fish the really rough stuff and need a much stiffer action to drag them out quickly.
Wife uses a 9' southern crappie & I use the 10' Jenco Kevin Rogers. Like them both real good.
I bought a denali 10ft rear seat last year and its a nice jig pole nothing bad to say about it. I just bought a acc crappie stix and will try it out this year but everytime I try i new rod I always seem to go back to my ozark 10ft rear seat! I have 3 10ft rear seats a 11ft regular seat and a 8 ft regular and love them all! The ozarks will be tough to beat!
I use HiTec JSG112. Tennessee handle. Put the reel where it is balanced. Never broke a tip and have had them for years. Got 10 put up in case they quit making them. Put micro eyes on 2 and the best I have ever fished.

Sam Heaton rods for most days and a brush cutter (old one /not camo) for the thick stuff .
Another vote for Sam Heaton Super Sensitive here.
Own several different rods along with the three mentioned but love my Southern Crappie RodsQuote:

I just don’t like the feel and weight of the Sam heaton super sensitive I guess. I think my mind is pretty set on the acc right now. I have 12ft southern Crappie for spider rigging and love them but they are just too heavy for me to single plow with. Just wonder what their 10ft felt like with the cork handle

I actually love a 7’ if you are verticals fishing any depth. Cork handle so you can feel every twitch. The longer rods that I own didn’t have the sensitivity that the 7’ has so maybe I will look into the one you are looking at. If 20’ deep I ain’t giving up my 7’ though! It is a killer. I can’t wait for open water.
good luck
