B&M Buck's Custom Crappie Rod 12' 2pc Spinning Rod – Balanced Blank-Through Handle

Overview

Meet the B&M Buck's Custom Crappie Rod 12' 2pc, a long-standing favorite built on the same proven blanks as our BGJP series but refined for handling and balance. A bottom-mounted fixed reel seat pairs with a Portuguese cork handle to support comfortable long days on the water. The true blank-through-handle design blends sensitivity with steady control, while the 96% tubular graphite construction keeps the rod light and responsive.

The 12-foot, two-piece configuration offers the length you want for accurate casts and the convenience of easier transport when you head from your vehicle to the shore. This setup is designed to help you reach targets that might require a little extra reach, without sacrificing the feel you rely on when presenting jigs to crappie around structure.
