That might be stretching things a bit! I don't know what you could get in that price range

Try the Rainshadow 10 ft 5 wt blanks in the bargain basement section at the Bingham's Ent. site to the left. A beautifully built green blank within your budget.
All the best to you and yours. Re: 10' Crappie Rod Blank?

Do you have to have a 10' blank? I built one on a 9' 4-8 lb Forecast steelhead blank (SH1081-2DB or SH1081-2CG) and would recommend it. In fact I took it fishing with a buddy and now I'm building him one (and 2 others--he's never buying another off the rack rod again!). And the price is reasonable. You should be able to get them for around $30-35 if you look around. I think Schneiders has the 2003 version (DB) for around $26. Re: 10' Crappie Rod Blank?

All the tournament Crappie fishermen in Louisiana use a very rugged 10 footer called a Salter Jigging Pole. The blank for this thing costs less than $12.00. They are green and look a lot like Forecast. Don't build one of these on a high dollar blank because if you end up fishing like most you will jab the thing down in the water to get a $ 0.75 bait loose from undertater tree tops!

I'd like to learn more about the Salter Jigging Pole mentioned above. I couldn't find it in the Forecast catalog. Anyone got a location for it? I have a guy that might be interested in several crappie rods of this description if I can price them reasonably. Re: 10' Crappie Rod Blank?

Salter's Jiggin Pole is the name of a rod created by a man named JB Salter. He is a guide near Baton Rouge, LA. His phone number is (225) 627-5151. I don't know what kind of blank is used to make the rods, but you might be able to get some information from him if you call him. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
