jerkbait joe Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Bought a new rod for crappie fishing and am looking for suggestions for a reel. It is a St.Croix panfish series 6'9" ultra light. What size reel and what brand. Needs to be under$100.00. Quote
HookdUP Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Shimano sahara fd in the 1000 sz Id say 1 Quote
Catch 22 Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 A 30 or 40 series reel should work well. I`m big on Pflueger spinning reels. My setup is 6'6" rod,40 reel with 8 lb braid /leader. Its casts great. C22 Quote
fisherrw Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Shimano sahara fd in the 1000 sz Id say x2 except a 500 size Quote
*Hank Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 I use a 1000 sized shimano Sedona spooled w/ 6lb seagur red label. It's a great little reel! Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted February 24, 2015 Global Moderator Posted February 24, 2015 Pfluegar President 6920. You could even go with the Trion in the same size if you wanted to save a little money. The Shimano Sahara 500 or 1000 would be a good option too. I guess I didn't realize they did away with the 750 size? Glad I didn't get rid of any of mine! 2 Quote

Super User Crestliner2008 Posted February 25, 2015 Super User Posted February 25, 2015 Another vote for the President! Quote
bassh8er Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 I've got the 6920 President on my St. Croix Premier 6' L & UL; my favorite setup. Quote
OntarioFishingGuy Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 I have a Sahara on my St. Croix Trout series, and its a great little reel. Quote
jerkbait joe Posted February 28, 2015 Author Posted February 28, 2015 I have a President 6920. As soon as this d**n ice is gone I'll have to try it on my new rod. Love that reel. Might have to get another. Quote

Super User RoLo Posted February 28, 2015 Super User Posted February 28, 2015 Crappie Setup? How many rods will you be trolling: 8, 12 or 20? Roger Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted March 1, 2015 Super User Posted March 1, 2015 A 7'0" ml with an old mitchell 308. Comes in handy when the bass shut down. Quote
