10, 11, or 12 ft BGJP'S are what you will want. The wife and I use the 12's for single or 2 poling. Just find you a nice, light weight reel and your set. We use the Buck's mini bait cast reels and fish all day.

I have the ultralight,nice light rod.But to me it's like the sam heaton, if you don't set the hook real hard you will loose them at the boat.Wheni do use my ultralight I usually loose a few fish from bad hookset. Then I start setting it real hard and all is good,just prefer the bgjp

The BnM Ultralight is one of the lighter jig poles but it doesn't have enough backbone to get a good hook set. I have fished with a lot of ten and eleven foot rods and in my opinion the Sam Heaton and Ozark rods are two of the best, for the money.

I'm a relative newcomer at least to Crappie fishing. Having had a long association with Keys fishing, ive done lots of deep jigging
on both the reef and on deep wrecks. But until I started Crappie fishing, id never seen or even heard or rods longer than about 7'
being used for deep jigging. I'm still of the opinion, that the long rod is needed for reaching out, as opposed to dropping down.
I have an 8' and a 10' BnM ultra lite, and also a Sam Heaton SS 10' model. I like them all and find little difference in them, but
would pick the Sam Heaton if forced to decide. I have no problem with hookset, as has been claimed by others. I do carry a 12' and 14' telescopic rods, just in case I want to reach out further on occaission. But otherwise I think id have to witness someone
using the rods longer than 10' in order to get my mind right on the advantage of using them for jigging.
Thanks for all the reply will look at some of the models you guys suggested at grizzly jig when I go June 24

Another vote for the 10' SHSS. I use mine most every time out and with the right reel on the rear reel seat, it balances on the cutout in the cork perfectly. That way you only hold the weight of the rod and the slightest tic is felt. Mine has 6 or 8lb mono and braid would make it that much better. I have BGJP from 8' to 12' and like them too, but the Sam has em beat hands down.

I suggest a 11' Ozark (Tony Edgar ) middle seat . Some 12' rods too heavy . I have several I been using for over 5 years fishing several days a week . I have not broke the first one either . I changed because I was breaking too many rods before .

my brother just bought a denali jig rod and really likes it. I cant speak for it myself.
I have an 11' Sam Heatin SS rear seat and an 11' Bucks Custom(rear seated BGJP) and they are both fine rods. In my experience, balance trumps total weight on any rod. I firmly believe going for a little heavier reel and having the rod truly balance at where you hold it will make it feel lighter. It's the trying to hold the tip up or down that gets tiring. I have heard great things about the duck commander double touch by some guys that really know what they are talking about on here. Thinking about replacing my custom with one.
