plawren53202 Posted May 5, 2021 Posted May 5, 2021 After years of bass fishing, I've gotten serious about crappie fishing over the last year. Our main style of fishing is single-pole jigging using the Livescope. I have been using a Lew's Wally Marshall (the 10-ft (?) long one). I like it pretty well, and it does have an IM8 blank. I know in bass fishing how much difference a premium rod can make, especially regarding sensitivity for something like bottom baits. Jigging for crappie is kind of the same deal, I want to feel every time a fish breathes on the jig. So, that has me looking at some of the more premium crappie jigging poles. In particular, the Todd Huckabee poles. Trying to get a sense of whether that upgrade from the Lew's Wally Marshall would be worth it. The Huckabee poles are in the $100-150 range, which of course is not that much compared to premium bass rods, so I may just bite the bullet and give it a try. I'd feel better about it if someone could tell me that one of those (or another "premium" crappie pole) would be a noticeable step up from my current setup. Quote
