Crappie talk is never off topic. It's already started in parts of the country. Sorry can't help you with a rod, I use basspro microlight rods but they don't come that long. Thanks for the tips and good luck.

I have got the boat packed getting ready to pack food and clothes now for my wife and my two plus week crappie fishing trip to Ky. Lake. We are starting to the lake right after church in the morning. We have a son that lives close to the lake we stay in his camper there at his house works out great visit fish have time with grandchildren. Nature threw us a curve we are in the area that is suppose to get 6" of snow today. We do the spider rigging and long lining we are staying a little longer this time going to get back home in time for opening day turkey season.

We don't get into all the fancy rig setups,or trophy fish, just a canoe, some rods, net, tackle and it's a day on the water. I'm sure when they get older they will try out all the fancy rods and reels. Hopefully they realize it's the one operating the rod and real that makes the difference, and they will still catch fish if they know what they're doing. Never needed to buy 16', 17', 18, or even 20'+ rods to catch crappie, believe that's a preference/application thing. Not too worried about crappie seeing us on a canoe, the kids do a number on them jigging with a float and jig, and we eat well when they go out and spend a day on the water. I enjoy watching these two out in the outdoors doing what I believe they like to do. They're ready to hit the water again!         Besides having a blast, this is the payout.

I'm catching a few through the ice by my house right now but it is a slow and inconsistent bite. I can't wait for open water but it is still going to be a long time here before that happens.
I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

Most people don't think of fast flowing rivers for crappie fishing. In the spring when they make a run, those jokers will stack up at dams. Wear them out fishing two jigs and casting. Lots of times two at a time.

A friend took me crappie fishing at Blue Marsh Lake a few times. I have a crappie pole I bought to fish small, bushy streams around home. He told me to leave the pole at home and just bring my ultra light Fenwick rod and an extra spool for my reel. Each time we went we got a lot of action. We used small jigs. That's where I really learned how to fish jigs.
You have a friend in Jesus.
