I’ve never actually targeted sac a lait.

What’s the plan? I’ve never have either so I was curious

I just use those kind of like a cane pole that you can extend and tie a slip cork on. Mostly see 10ft but would prefer an 8ft since my boat is small and sometimes it’s hard to get line in the water with such a long pole. They come with like 20-25 ft of line which I usually cut 5-10 ft off

Look I don't know how much you want to spin on this combo. but, A 6' OR 7'rod is too short. Sac's have a very soft mouth and a stiff rod will tear the fish's mouth. If you want to get serious about fishing Sac's look for 10'to 12' pole Crappie king or even bass pro has there own brand. This is what you need. The pole is very flimsy and will give you the correct soft hook set. that being said my perfect reel is the smallest lews spinning reel you can find. lastly use only 4 to 6 lb test. I use a 4 lb spiderwire. works very well. I hope this helps

Terrible advice. I fish crappie 12 months a year. I absolutely hate using these things. Only do when I have to get up in the button woods.

I’ve caught lots of crappie on 5 1/2 &6 ft ultralights throwing Beetlespins or Roadrunners.I like using 10 and 11 ft jigging poles for fishing around stumps and cypress trees also.
I’ve seen days they would bite Beetlespins better than anything else.I’ve had some good days with those tiny Rattletraps.

There is no such fish in Lake Bruin. No sac a lait or crappie. Hopefully the white perch are biting for you though!!

good luck

5'6" ultralight spinning combo with #6 mono.
#6 Eagle Claw aberdeen hooks
Split shot
Small "split" corks with the peg
Frabil Flo-Troll minnow bucket tied to 6 ft of rope
3 dozen minnows

Notes-
Typically I do 4# test but with live bait you might hook something bigger than you planned so go 6# on this rig.
Fish around all the same structure you'd fish for bass or anything else.
When you catch one crappie, often there's 100 more in that same spot.
If you are mostly bass fishing, just keep a minnow a few feet under cork trolling behind the boat.

But you also don't catch many fish.
