These rods are awesome !!, my wife and I love to chase them slabs and have used a certain brand of rod for years. We have switched over to crappie sticks and my wife’s catch to miss ratio has gone up because of the sensitivity. When she goes with me we usually fish shallow or put a cork on her line to know when she gets hit. Now she fishes the deep brush piles with me and loves it. Love that thump !!!!

Great info. I have same problem as DaveD (not from fishing but years of mechanic work) Spot on about the short light rods. Helps tremendously with bad joints and arthritis. I hate even picking a long rod up now. Since forward imaging I have found that I can change jig weight cast it where it needs to be to just hang in there face if need be.Crazy how water tension on the line can make a bait/jig suspend. Your assessment about clear water applies here.( Clear rock bottom lake). Fish will not let you get to close. I'm learning and your teaching! Thanks!

As always great job Matt. Thanks for all the great videos and info!

Perfect Timing and Well Done!!! Thanks man!!

Could u do a video on how you choose different colors and when to use a stump bug versus the slim stick or a minnow like plastic. Thanks for your time. Love your Chanel and have learned a lot from it

I went for a fishing rod to academy and ended with a crappie rod (unknowingly) I actually like it even tho I didn't catch anything, nice info

Awesome Video. if im just starting off crappie fishing what rod would you recommend to start? i dont troll and i dont shoot docks. Just mini jigs and maybe some red worms for bluegill

Great info

I'm looking at a 6.5 and 7' crappie rod. I fish from the bank and a kayak. I use bait, jigs (casting), and bobber. Which one would you suggest for me.

Very good video lot of good information thanks

13ftr and the 8ftr is all I need with my reels spooled with the lightest braid is can find🎣

Do bass pro shop sell the ACC Crappie rods?

What kind of yellow line are you using on those poles???

Great video Sir

I also saltwater fish with a 7-foot fast light action Rod would that work off the bank I use a 2500 real is it I'd like that ACC stick

TFO pan fish rod. Best for crappie hands down.

Good info, thanks. It will me with a purchse of a new rod, but don't tell my wife.

Do you use 1000 series reel

Was wondering what type and weight line you are using?

I have a couple ACC crappie rods - recently switched to St Croix Panfish…the St Croix in my opinion is way more sensitive for detecting those light/negative bites.

I've developed a bit of a tennis elbow issue and I think it is from using the 12' rod for hours of vertical jigging. I think one issue is I've been holding close to the end of the rod to get more reach. I might be better off sacrificing some reach and holding at the balance point. It's pretty painful so definitely want to avoid.

I use a couple 5.6 rods (short slow) Maybe I should name them 45 asp because short and fat and slow will do the job I have a old seven footer that I use for float fishing and I'm a Shimano Fan but love my Trion's along with my Johnny Morris reels

I may have missed it but which rod do you prefer when you're trolling crankbaits

On the 6’ and 6’6” is the tip end eyelet large enough opening for the rubber bobber stops? I have a problem casting with the bobber stop catching on the eyelet and stopping the cast on my current (not ACC) 6’6”.

I'm new to crappie fishing and I'm considering ordering three of these rods, the 6'6", 7'6" & 8'. What type and size of line should I run on each rod?

Opinions on the 5’6 for shooting docks? 5’6 vs the 6’?

At first i thought you said SHOOTING DUCKS!

Floatin fly? Can anyone help explain that? Point me to a video of what it is? Please and thank you.

Is your 6.6 one or two piece

Best place to buy? Crappie Cove?
