Hi Everyone, I am going to building a 7' ultra light rod for Crappie fishing. This rod will be for casting jigs only, no bobber fishing. In order to get the most distance from the shore, do I want a mod action? or a fast action? Thank you for your input.

Well I tested the glue out on a wooden dowel. I wanted to see if it would tern my nylon thread a darker color or retain its brightness. It darkened just as much as the rod epoxy. So failed test. I will just have to use a colorfast. Thanks for all your input.

I purchased an E-Glass rod from Get Bit Outdoors in Florida. It was actually an 8" rod but I cut it down. Med Heavy power with moderate action. 15-30 in line weight. I believe part number was #Glass80MH Happy Building.
