I'm curious, what is a really good 8-9' crappie jigging blank? Are fly rods good? If so! What weight? I wanted a SCV, but didn't want to fork over $240 on my first rod. Heard people suggest rain shadow rx7 & 8, but been getting my stuff from Mudhole, and they don't sell them. Curious how this MHX steelhead blank does.

I really like real light stuff. Last rods I had built were built on # 2 weight fly rod blanks. The one I just had built is a bait caster with a 2 weight fly rod blank.

The spinning rods are great for jigging rods. The slightest tap bends the rod end. I expect the baitcaster to be just as deadly.
Nick Ready built all three rods for me.
