Why It Stands Out
Designed with crappie legend Sam Heaton, this rod earns its 'super sensitive' name with an IM-6 graphite blank built specifically for crappie and panfish. The 10-foot length is made for shooting docks, spider rigging, and dabbling jigs into brush, while aluminum oxide guides keep line flowing smoothly. For serious crappie anglers, it's a specialist tool.
