I’m wanting to get a rear seat rod and reel, jigging pole setup. If Huckabee made one, I’d just get that and be done.
so which rod would you prefer between...
Grizzly Jig Company - Jigging Poles Rear Reel Seat
Or
Grizzly Jig Company - Rolling Fork
and which reel ...
Grizzly Jig Company - Buck's Best Ultra Lite Crappie Reel 2
or
Grizzly Jig Company - Solo Crappie Reel
or is there something else I should consider?
Here is one I have and really like it. Very light but lots of backbone. I have a Solo and it’s a bit heavy for a rear seat.
HyperSense 11' Rear Seat Rod – Jenko Fishing
I have a ozark 10’ and it’s my favorite.... like it so much I own 4of em... I have a acc 10’er to it’s a nice rod to but the ozark is still my favorite

Anyone have any experience with that Martin Rolling Fork rod?
I’m mainly interested in a rod that I can swing fish into the boat.
I've got a BnM Capps & Coleman that I like using for standing timber. Light as a feather with the Solo reel.
I have BnM, Denali, and Ozark. Hard to beat Ozark.
Slip rings make all of them rear seat. Save them from one rod to put on another. Couple of bucks a pair from Barlow's.

I have a 10’ Sam Heaton with rear reel seat and like it a lot, both length and action. Works very well for me. Don’t say I’m gonna use this reel, use the reel that makes it balance in the right place and it will be like holding nothing, until it goes thump of course.
I have two twelve ft. B/M Sam Heaton that I use as my go to . I was given two A C C Crappie Stix but opted to trade out for mid reel seat rods to use in deep water . I use ultra lite reel in deep water and Slater /west point reels in situations less than 12 ft . Had I not already had the Heatons they were very nice rear seat rods .
Have you looked into the ACC Crappie Stix? Here is a link to the 10 ft but also comes in 12 and I think 8. GS10R
I don't limit myself to rear seaters. I buy what I want and use electrical tape to put the reel wherever I want.
If boat flipping is truly your goal, I have a 10'6" Huckabee Elite and one of my fishing partners has Kevin Rogers Signature Jenko 10' and 11'. While fishing the Crappie USA tournament on Lake Fork we had no trouble swinging fish up to 2.5#.

I have two of the Rolling Fork rods, both fitted with Shimano 500 reels. I could not be happier with the rods. They are extremely sensitive, have plenty of backbone and are very easy on the wrist as they are perfectly balanced with the reel. You can spend more money, but you will not get a finer rod.
I’ve been kind of “overcome by events” for a couple of weeks, I hope this passes soon.Quote:

i have a couple of Huckabee 10’ rods that I use with cheap baitcasting reels. They are great rods, but a bit heavy for long days. I see that Grizzly Jig has the Huckabee Dingo rod with a Tennessee handle, that is tempting but I already have WAY too many rods.Quote:
