He is also a sponsor of this website so it's always good to support these guys. He is good to deal with too. Mark at the Crappie Hole in Chapin carries his rods. That's where I got mine. I have B&M,SC and Pinnacle Limit rods. They all serve their purpose.Quote:

Unless I was going to Push jigs & cranks on occasion, I would get BnM Capps/Coleman 14' rods, rather than the PST's .... reason being, they are a bit more limber in the tip & show lite bites better. I use mine for Pushing, both the PST & the C/C rods, but don't do a lot of Spider Rigging ... I'm basing what I said on what my other Spider Rigging buddies have said (& what they use).
Even Mr Duke has realized that Spider Rig rods & Pushing rods are slightly different in their tip action, and now offers a trolling (Pushing) version (which can be used with much heavier weights).
Southern crappie rods hands down and get the heavy set. I have 8 regular rods and recently added 8 heavy rods for pushing jigs. Scottymoe and I used the heavies recently in Kentucky and for the average fisherman they work with 1/2 oz weight all the way up to 3 oz. I use the 14 ft rods and I am happy with them.
I've used lot of different rods. My choice now is the Southern Crappie rods. I have 6 16 footers,2 14 footers 2 twelve's. I can used these rods Spider Rigging,long lining or pulling cranks. Cannot asked for a better man then Ed Dukes to do business with.

Southern crappie for me also, make sure you buy the heavy rods so you can run more weight.
