Almost all of my crappie rods are BNM poles.
I use the sam heaton series BNM's, i use the 7 and 9' most, every now and then 10-12', a few 5' UL rods and I have been carrying an ice rod with me for when it gets really windy I can fish right in the lee of the boat out of the wind and have max esnsativity. I caught my larges crappie just over 2# on the ice rod and not on ice. I have also added spring bobbers to a few rod and they are amazine for bite detection. I like to get some of the HT snap on springbobbers, marmooska style to keep with me also. I al also never without a few thill mini stealth #2/ 1/32oz float when they is any possiblity of bluegill or crappie. I also prefer small lure like slider grubs. I normall never use a lure larger than a 1.5' tube for crappie and many places much smaller espically in gills are around.
