This is the rod I use for crappie:

While it isn't the rod you describe, the properties are very similar. It's a fast action rod that is soft enough not to rip the hook out of their mouth on hookset, and has enough backbone to lift them out of the cover. It's also extremely sensitive. You can almost feel fish breathing on the lure. Unlike a lot of crappie rods, it has spinning eyes. You can cast really light rigs a country mile. I can get a 1/16th ounce jig out about 40 feet. It can also handle larger fish. I've caught catfish up to 7 pounds on it.
Cabela's does not carry it in store, but you can order off their web site and have it shipped to the Boise store for free.
