    7’ med lite ?

    I am wanting to get a couple high end 7’ med lite spinning rods to cast lite jigs on for crappie. What would be a good choice? Thanks in advance.

    How heavy of crappie jigs? I picked up a St. Croix Legend Panfish Rod this winter, so far really great rod. 7’ Light...fishes a 1/16oz jig perfect. I have a 1000 series tatula on it.

    Shimano Zodias is probably my favorite crappie rod. I use a 7' medium. Has a nice light tip for casting light jigs. I havent tried the ML

    Daiwa BLX 6'10" Light+. The extra 2" make no real difference. That rod feels like it was born to catch crappie. I have a Tatula LT 2000 on mine and the whole setup weighs 9.4oz, with line.

    That BLX 610L is a fantastic rod without a doubt.

    If you don't want to spend BLX money, the Daiwa Kage Ultralight series are extremely impressive. They make a matching 1000 size reel that makes an outstanding panfish combo.
