    Default Crappie Spiderrig Rods

    What's the best length? Also, I looked at some from BNM and the bastards were $65 a piece, any other cheaper options? Thanks!

    You are going to need several different lengths to keep your spread from becoming a cluster. I run 6 rods off the front. Ive got 2 10', 2 8', and 2 6'. God help you if a striper hits. You'll be retying them all. Academy has some decent priced rods.

    It will be even worse if a stripper and a striper hits at the same time.

    AB outfitters in Ridegway. He has several to choose from, I run some older Hi-Tech rods. You need to buy all the same brand etc at the same time.

    Cheap isn't the best way to go in my opinion. I run 12' rods when tightlining and I troll 10' rods out the back and 12' to 18' rods out of the sides.

    I use Pinnacle Limit rods when tightlining just because I don't tightline very much (they are cheap). I use Wally Marshall troll tech rods for trolling.

    I wish ugly stick made them. Ill pop a crappie pole in a minute! Don't try to lift in heavy fish or put much bend in one trying to get your bait off a brush pile.

    About any slow action rod is okay for tightlining but I care most about all being the same so I can tell when a fish picks up the bait and just sits there.

    Fast action tips like the Wallys you mention are best for trolling.

    I run 12' south bend rods, no problems with them but I plan to upgrade to 14'ers before spring.

    Yep. I'd far rather eat a crappie than a stripper anyway.

    I guess that depends. There was this stripper in Montreal years ago that would have put any crappie to shame...
