The Shakespeare Crappie Hunter Spinning Rod is a worthwhile choice for novices and experienced anglers alike. Graphite construction creates a low-weight design that casts accurately and easily. It's compatible with artificial grubs and other ultra-lightweight lures that the species like crappies prefer. EVA padding helps to ensure a confident, comfortable grip. The high-visibility tip makes it easy to see, even when you're fishing at dusk or in the early morning.
