I need 2 of em.
What you got, what have you tried and not liked and why?
Gonna push, pull and spider rig with them. I'm looking for a multi purpose tool.
I want a rod like me. Just enough backbone, with a sensitive side. LOL and I want something with a reasonably priced replacement tip because I'm gonna break em.
I'm thinking Jenko Spider Troll, but I'd like your opinions....
I just got two of them myself. I haven’t tried them yet but they feel like they can do the jobQuote:

southern crappie rods
Denali, great tip and will handle up to a 3oz weight, tips available pretty easy too.
Rees has tried em all.
Rees, are you talking about the Pryme Trolling rod?
Yes, they load up with a 2 or 3oz weight on them but handle fine, what we were using at the Crappie Masters Nationals. Finished 24th pushing Arkies with a 3oz weight in front of them. Fished a many of day this spring with a 1/4oz Roadrunner on them, that being all of the weight added, in shallow water and handled great. Haven't seen any other rod fish from a 1/4 to 3oz and swing 2lbers in the boat.
Southerns are great rods but the tip lacks a little and the performance in the wind leaves a lot to be desired. They are tuff and perform excellent pulling and pushing weights but when you get under an ounce they lack.
Good luck with whatever you choose, if you choose the Denali and don't like it I'll give you your money back for them.
Thanks. That's a very kind offer.
I do have a crankbait pushing question since you brought it up. :biggrin When you "Carolina rig" a crankbait and push or pull it, does it run at the depth of the weight or does it run at the depth of the weight, plus the depth the crankbait would normally run, or somewhere in between? The wording of that question may not make sense....
If you're fishing a crankbait that would run 8 feet deep if casted and reeled in and you add 2 ounces of weight and run that weight 10 feet deep, does the crankbait run 10' deep or 18 feet deep or somewhere in between?
Good question I would like also. I'm wanting to start running cranks myself

Pulling cranks is completely different from casting and reeling one. There are some charts that will give you some good info on the Mississippi Board in the Cranking 101 sticky.
A crank will run deeper than the package says it will being pulled verses being retrieved. Some of it is trial and error but what you get with weights is what the weight will do by itself plus a little depending on the style of crank, like an Arkie 350 will run deeper that a 220, if that makes sense.
Thanks

Denali rods are good I just am not crazy about the eyelets on them. I have decided to go with ACC Crappie Stix.
Before you buy any rod. Call Mr Ed at southern crappie rods It won't cost you anything to listen to him a minute

I would recommend Southern Crappie Rods I don't think you would be disappointed and Ed Duke is a great guy to deal with he is the one that sent me the 2 rods for the giveaway at camp.
I just ordered a couple Denali's in 18' as we sometimes need heavier weights here. We currently run up to 6, 16' Southern Crappie rods and really like them a lot but with 2 oz weights its often an issue. Wish I could find a 20' rod with similar action.
Ed just came out with his new 12,14,16 scrT for up to a 2 oz weight. Best rods on the market imp. I only live about 30 mins from ED and buying some new rods scrT Friday for heavier weights pulling cranks. Nicest man you will ever meet and deal with

I bought 2 a couple weeks ago from southern crappie rods. They are the heavier rods. Very nice rods.
