The Kistler Big Game Crappie Pole comes in eight length options, from the 6'6" Bobcat to the 18' Moose. Choose a shorter model when you want a more manageable reach, or a longer pole to place your presentation farther from your position.
Stainless steel guide frames are shaped to help shed wrapped braided line, while triple-polished guide rings provide a smooth path for the line. Tacky handles provide grip, and Kistler's smart balancing kit helps you adjust the pole's balance for your setup.

Setup and Fishing Guidance
Select a length that suits your fishing space, target distance, and ability to manage the pole comfortably. Match your reel, line, and total rig weight to the ratings marked on your selected model. With the complete setup assembled, adjust the balancing kit according to Kistler's instructions before fishing.
For a controlled crappie presentation, lower a jig or bait beside cover and use small lifts and pauses rather than large rod movements. Watch the line for subtle changes and keep enough contact to respond to a bite. Use a landing net for fish instead of lifting them by the pole, especially with the longer models.
Check guide rings for damage and line for wear before each trip. Avoid high-sticking or using the pole to pull a snag free, and protect the tip and guides during transport.
