Quick take
A 7 ft spinning combo with a graphite rod and size 100 reel, pre-spooled and ready for crappie.
This Lew's Crappie Thunder combo pairs a 7-foot, two-piece graphite spinning rod with a size 100 reel that has a reversible handle. The light-power, fast-action rod handles 2 to 8 pound line and 1/16 to 1/4 ounce baits, a natural range for jigs and small minnows. It comes spooled with 6 pound mono, so a crappie angler can head to the dock or bank right away.
Best for
- Anglers starting out in crappie fishing
- Fishing vegetation and structure for crappies

Skip if
- You fish saltwater; this is for freshwater only

Strengths
- Comes pre-spooled with 6 lb line to fish immediately

- Reversible retrieve system lets you switch hand orientation
Trade-offs
