ICYDK,

Crappie [n. KRAA-pee] A genus, pomoxis, of North American freshwater 
fish in the sunfish family Centrarchidae.

Crappy [adj. KRAA-pee] 1. Of or denoting very inferior construction.  2. 
Denoting any bad condition, object, utterance, or occurrence.

"Pole" is the operative word here, fish make very poor antennas and they 
don't last very long, just as crappy crappie poles don't last long 
either. [:-)

I'm still a mag loop fan after trying all the rest.
