HT Shooting Star Telec Pole w/Reel Seat-Guides 12'
The HT Shooting Star Telec Pole with Reel Seat and Guides is a 12-foot telescoping crappie rod built for anglers who value versatility and ease of handling in tight spaces. Whether you're working shallow brush, pitching to dock pilings, or poling through weedy shallows, this pole's collapsible design lets you fish where conventional rods can't. The integrated reel seat and guide system keeps your setup simple and balanced, so you can focus on what matters—finding and landing crappie.
HT Enterprises engineered this pole with crappie fishing in mind, and it shows in the details. The telescoping construction means you can extend to a full 12 feet when you need length and reach, then collapse it for storage or maneuvering through dense cover. The reel seat and guides come factory-installed, so there's no guesswork or additional rigging needed when you unpack it.
If you fish lakes, ponds, or rivers where crappie congregate around structure, a dedicated crappie pole gives you the sensitivity and control that heavier bass gear can't match. The 12-foot length is a sweet spot for sight-fishing and vertical presentations in shallow water—long enough to reach out and keep line off the water, short enough to stay manageable in a boat or from the bank.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this pole suitable for other fish species besides crappie?
This pole is purpose-designed for crappie fishing. While you could use it for other panfish, consult the specifications or contact us if you're planning to target different species.
What do I need to get this pole fishing-ready?
The HT Shooting Star comes with the reel seat and guides already installed, so you'll need a compatible reel and line to start fishing.
How does the telescoping design work, and will it stay extended while fishing?
The pole collapses for storage and transport, then extends to its full 12-foot length for fishing. Once extended, it's locked in place for use on the water.
