Anybody have any good or bad reviews on them

I have 2 of the green dock shooters. They have shot a lot of docks and wrestled some big fish that decided to grab the jig.
I have their 10 foot jigging rod. Very happy with it over the past year. Sensitive, light and plenty stout to lift a crappie into the boat.
I have the 13ft. super grip jigging rod for livescope fishiing & it's a great rod. My buddy has a 10 footer & i really like it. I'll end up buying another rod from them.
10’ rear seat and I really like it!

Really nice rods,the 6'6 is my favorite rod for casting/pitching jigs and there longer jigpoles are nice as well.They also have great customer service if you ever have any issues with their products.
I have several from 13 ft down to 6.6.
They are OK……
Found rods I like better so I probably won’t buy any more.
6.6 broke just above reel seat on hookset.
Personally they are light in weigh but they need to address the mixture of material used. Others have broken more easily than they should in my opinion.
Good luck but explore more before buying.

I had one only used it twice ! Didn’t like it at all.
everybody has a different feel.
if I was you and if at all possible I’d put one in my hand before you buy just to make sure it suits you.
i have bought many rods in the past just because this or that one said they like it and get it and not like it.
so now I will not purchase a rod unless I can put it in my hand first to see how it feels to me! :twocents
Also doesn't hurt to have the reel you intend on fishing on it. They feel very much different with and without a reel. Acc has a list of recommended reels for each rod that makes them balance well.
I've got two 13ft Crossovers, a 6fter, and dad has an 8fter and 11fter. I've beat the crap out of my 13fters and theyre still going. Love them, but there's a few rods from Southern Crappie Rods about to come out that will make my ACCs collect dust,
Really like my 7ft spin rod. Very happy with it. However, it has since been replaced by my BnM TCB rod, which is much more sensitive. ACC is now my backup rod.

I don't have any information about the ACC crappie rods, but thought I'd add one that I highly recommend if the original poster is open to suggestions. I won a Denali Pryme 6'9" UL rod in some sort of contest (I don't even remember how/what) and I really love the rod, so much so that I'm purchasing another soon even though I have at least half a dozen similar models from other manufacturers. I think it retails for $59 and it's worth every penny in my opinion and is nice for dock shooting or casting.
i've had several of them. they feel great in my hand, however i broke 3 tips on hooksets. ended up selling them all. i will say when you call them about a broken tip you will have a replacement in short order. customer service is outstanding. im pretty much a denalli guy. there light enough but have tremendous backbone on are bulletproof
Breakage like you experienced is very common with those ACC rods. I have read about it here, several other groups, and know several people here locally that have all had similar experiences. One friend tried to warranty one that broke just trying to fight a small catfish and they wouldn’t stand behind it. Told him he should have cut is line. I still have the screenshot from their customer service department, one of the worst looks from a rod company ever. “Cut your line if you hook a big one” would make for a great slogan.Quote:

My 6.6 broke about 6 inches above the top of reel seat area. That should be the strongest part of the rod. Since it was about 16 months old it was Sorry Charlie!!Quote:

They are nice rods but they don't hold up like the BnM's...... seen more than one 9' plus ACC rod
snap under the pressure of a hard hook set.
not to hurt no ones feelings ,but when they tested em back when they gave one or 2 to all my buds that youtube all the time and not one to me .....seems they knew full well of my semi lengendary hooksets and abuse tackle gets when I use it.Quote:

B/m does not recommend boat flipping fish with any of their rods so that has never been a requirement of a rod for me . All that to say its a Ford /Chevy thing . jmo
when will they be out, i am willing to try one and see if it will make my ACC rods collect dust, ya never know, some other rods were supposed to make some rods collect dust, i have tried about 5 or 6 other brands that were supposed to put the ACC in the closet, so far i have found one or 2 rods to do that and they were Daiwa Tatula's but at 3 times the price, what is this new rod from Southern Crappie supposed to be available.Quote:

My favorites right now are the Kevin Rogers Signature Series.
Fast tip and loads up nicely. Swings everything I catch in with zero problems. I have the 10 and 13 footers.
Hardly ever pick up the ACC’s any more.

Unknown with the way manufacturing over seas is. Give Ed a call. Latest outbreak of Covid over there shut things down again from what I was told. Check them out in gobbler's video(s). His latest is https://www.crappie.com/crappie/main...-footage-wife/Quote:

That said, I've sent fish airborn out of the water on hookset, and had to dodge my jig/weight more than I care to remember, looking like a Bassmaster Elite Pro setting the hook on a 10lber in lillypads....Ive heard about the broken ACC's but mine get beat and abused and see weekly use. In a tourny, all bets are off as to how I handle a rod while I'm scrambling to do something, switch jigs/rods, etc.
Again, I don't get paid, receive a discount, get free products, or anything, I'm just a putz that owns 5 of them, and could break an anvil with a rubber mallet. I'm sure they get broken, but I don't know a rod that doesn't. Comparing them to B&M is like apples and oranges. Other than some of B&M's latest offerings, they're really entirely different products for the most part. The graphite of a BGJP isnt the same as a high modulus graphite. High modulus graphite isnt as forgiving, but is generally stiffer and a faster action than the graphite of an rod like a BGJP, and IMO, serve two totally different, albeit important functions. Each great for their own purpose.
Well said Sir
All rods do get broken but not at the same pace as the ACC. I could honestly care less, I haven’t owned one and won’t because of all the people I know that have had them break. But I hate seeing people waste money on a product without knowing what they are getting into when there are so many better options out there.Quote:

I am in no way trying to badmouth ACC and only posting MY experience with them. I have 5 of them and only had the 6.6 break just above the reel seat.

I have 4 ACC's, have not had any issues and I fish over 200 days a year. One the other hand, my Dobyns, Josh Jones model rod rarely makes the trip as I would much rather use my ACC's.JMO...

I've got three 5'1" ACC Crappie Stix that I use for dock shooting and fishing in the boat slips. Lightest rods that I own and I haven't had any problems with them at all. I pair them with Quantum Optix size 10 reels with 8-lb braid, and a 6-lb Stren Fluorescent Blue line for my leader.
