The perfect crappie rod/combo's.

St. Croix Panfish Series Rods teamed up with a Pflueger President XT20 or XT25. I stopped by Cabelas on the way home and picked up every spinning rod brand they had and didn't look at prices until I found the perfect rod that felt the best. Hands down, that St. Croix is the winner. Now I wish I hadn't gone to look because I've got to have a couple grin rolleyes

This is like: whats the best rifle/caliber for deer.

St Croix does make some quality rods and I have several Pfleuger reels of varying models and sizes. I like a 5.5' to 6.5' light or ultralight, fast action rod with the 25 and 30 size reel

Yeah those are super nice rods. I bought a bunch of those pflueger presidents last year on sale for 29.99 each and love them. They are the non xt version though. I have one on my inshore rod and one on each of my 6 crappie rods. They are some of the best bang for the buck spinning reels I've used.

I can't speak for the rod but I'd get a 25 series reel. I've got a couple of 20's and several 25's. I like the 25's better. Casting distance is better and they balance the poles better to me.

Which specific model St Croix did you look at? I'm kicking around getting a JDM rod and want to see what domestic rods might compare.

The 6'9 and 8' were nice!

This setup sounds familiar. My next President spinning reel will be the XT model

Dang right! I'm jealous. I've picked up that rod before and it will be my next one.
