    Rod ideas

    I bank fish for crappie, need a rod that can cast out there with a jig and jigging bobber. Sometimes distance is everything. Thanks.

    I would recommend the 8ft B&M jig pole.

    How far do you need to cast? And what lb. line are you using?

    I use IMX SJR 781's and 782's for crappies. Probably not the best casting rods, but with 4lb YZ Hybrid or Fireline, I can throw a weighted bobber and jig pretty far.

    These are the style I like. Only thing I don't like is you can't see lift bites.

    You may even consider 2lb line. It sucks cuz it breaks so easy, but you can really cast it some distance!
