BENagy Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 I have built three crappie rods using fly rod blanks. All were 8 foot, and rated at 3 to 4 wt. They were built as spinning rods with a standard Fuji spinning reel seat, split grips, and Fuji Alconite guides. I kept two and gave one to my brother-in-law. He is more of a crappie fisherman than I am, and he loves the rod. email me if you have questions Bert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
