Cheap 10 foot rods for jigging?

Want to pick up a couple cheap but decent 10 footers to jig & pitch with livescoping for when other folks go with me that don't have crappie gear. I have a couple buddys young sons that have wanted to go for quite awhile & they don't have any gear so figured if i could pick up a couple rods that were pretty light & not the bank either i'd get a couple for just when the situation comes up. What do you guys suggest that would be pretty light & durable & cheap that would hold up? Thanks

The Hi-tech spec crappie rod for 30.$ is a pretty good rod for not much money. I have one that has held up pretty good ,fairly sensitive and very light.

I’ve checked it out at Walmart & thought it was kind of heavy & flimsy too.

I bought a 10 ft from Academy Sport for about $25. It is okay - my wife will like it. I'm gonna stick with 7 and 7.5 ft rods. The 7.5s are ugly stick bait casters but noodle like and be good for specs.

:ThumbsUp

I’ve got several of the $19.98 shimano fx 2500 from Walmart that I use & they work great. :ThumbsUp

I have had success with Ozark Trail combos from WM for under 20.00. Problem is nothing they make is 10 foot.
