Kate and I were just contacted by the Crappie USA folks about their tournament in Cresent City on January 21st. We will have an Emmrod table down there for the event. We did it last year, had a nice time meeting anglers and ate some tasty fish at the cook station in the center of town. I understand this year will be even bigger thanks in great part to the excellent catch the professionals had and the hospitality shown by the Cresent City folks. I've attached a shot of a new rod set up the crappie anglers may like. It's a Combat Rod with one of the Qualia MuL 10 reels attached. Pretty cool and while our stiffest pole for close range dock shooting it works well. With my regular 14lb Fireline load this might be a great spincast rig for hard pulling big fish under docks or near cover. Hey maybe a rig like this could be one we donate for the Classic.
