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.
Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn. ~ Chuck Clark
