Sac-a-lait Rod and Reel Suggestions

I need a couple more sac-a-lait rod and reels for my boat. My stuff is old. Not looking for high end just want some nicer gear for guests and myself.

I bought a crappie maxx combo spinning from bass pro last month and wore sac a lait out on my last trip. It was fun and reliable and $50.

It looks like the rods I use are no longer being sold, but this is the same reel and the same length/action rod I use.
I'm no pro, by any means, but I've enjoyed the light action and the short 5'6" rod. Kids have enjoyed learning to use a spinning reel on these too, and have caught a lot more fish than they did when they were using their $20 Zebco combos and couldn't feel the fish.
Something like below with 4lb test makes crappie fishing more fun, IMO.

This is pretty much all I do.
Reels are easy. Just pick your price point, and choose the Daiwa 1000 of your choice.
Rods are more difficult, and I have too many to name. My recent favorites have come from the Daiwa Procyon line. The Duckett Crappie slayers are nice for the price as well.

6 foot zebco 33 combo. Never had an issue, the extra 6 inches of rod allows you to handle the bigger ones better..............

Those 12 foot set ups always intrigued me but I never pulled the trigger on one.

Me and Dad use B&M FISH-POLE REEL COMBO
If you are fancy, get THE CADILLAC COMBO.

I prefer a 6 ft one piece rod with a small spinning reel. I found a few Wally marshall ones on clearance recently at Academy and they have been great for me. But I don’t think they carry them anymore, at least the ones I bought.
I have this small micro lite spinning reel from Cabelas/Bass Pro that has been really solid.

I spool mine with 6lb Trilene XL smooth casting.

I have a little Falcon BooCoo UL with a Pfleuger President XT 10 on it. Great little rod and reel.

How do you target them?
Your rod and Reel needs will vary considerably depending on how you're fishing for them.
Soaking a cork and shiner? Casting a road runner? Vertical jigging in deeper water on tops? Perch jerkin shallow cypress trees? Shootin' docks?

I grabbed a Pfleuger President for $45 from Walmart and a Basspro Elite Panfish rod light after doing a good bit of research. Both were the best I could find in the sub $125/combo range. It's perfect for catching Catfish on corks and also shooting docks with sacalait jigs

Last year I was in the same boat.
A year later and now I shop Japanese fishing sites for BFS, own multiple Gekkabijin SV TW reels, and several Dobyns ultra finesse rods.

I run the original B&M 10’ with the zebco golds. Everyone is different, though. Believe I have 4 of em.

One of things I miss most about Louisiana is hitting the sac au lait in the swamp. I had a couple of ultra lite five foot ugly sticks with eight lbs test and a collapsible 10 foot jig pole just in case.

If only Zebco 33’s were still indestructible. Panfish and trout catching machines
