Am looking to build a crappie rod on a St. Croix blank. Will be mostly vertical jigging in ~30' of water with up to 1/4 oz. jigs. What would your preferences for a rod blank be?
Welcome to the site, Kakagi! I would personally go with a 5 to 6 foot mid-modulus graphite ultralight in the 2 to 3 ounce range. Might want to look at the blanks they use to build the Triumph series.
Sand Burr would probably know a lot more about this stuff then I would.
There will be days when the fishing is better than one's most optimistic forecast, others when it is far worse. Either is a gain over just staying home. ~ Roderick Haig-Brown, Fisherman's Spring, 1951
