Pure Crappie Forward Sonar Combo | TJ Shands Signature 13' Rod & Pro Series Spinning Reel

Forward-facing sonar has changed crappie fishing forever. The Forward Sonar Combo gives you the rod and reel setup purpose-built to take full advantage of it.

The TJ Shands Signature Series 13' rod was developed in collaboration with one of the top crappie tournament anglers in the country, specifically for Garmin Panoptix, Humminbird MEGA Live, and similar live sonar systems. The technique demands reach — you need to position a jig precisely on a fish you can see on your unit without moving the boat close enough to spook it. At 13 feet, this rod puts your presentation exactly where your screen shows fish holding, every time.

Super strong carbon construction keeps the rod light despite its length, and the cork grip puts the balance point where it should be — reducing tip-heavy fatigue over a long tournament day. The 2-piece design breaks down for easy transport without compromising the blank's sensitivity or backbone where it counts.

Paired with the Pro Series Spinning Reel and 6–8 lb fluorocarbon leader, this is the most technologically complete crappie fishing combo in the Pure Crappie lineup. If you're running any live sonar unit, this is the rod that belongs in your hand.
