St Croix lite action Crappie Ketch

Dropped some Crappie Buckets on one of our Favorite crappie spots to freshen up the spot.Gave them a day to load up with crappie.
Got to my spot right at daylite .
Cast my crappie jig JDM Med lite with 4 lb vanish fished about 30 min only 2 takers.I know they crappie are their caught a limit Monday.
Switched to my St Croix lite action 2lb vanish like turning on a light switch Game on.Loved it.
Thanks Hawk,Skeet,and others on this lite action adventure Loving and learning.Can teach a Bass Fishermen new Tricks.
Some picks Thanks again.
Looking at Ultra lite action Rods Next.Like to wade in reel slow.[emoji1] Attachment 312692 Attachment 312693 Attachment 312694 Attachment 312695

I suggest "handling" as well as "looking". Rod actions are all over the board. Speaking of boards, I once handled a Falcon "ultra light" that was as stiff as one.

Jackie, what the exact model information on the St. Croix? Was it the rod or lighter line that made the bigger difference in your opinion, I know both were a factor.
Thanks
