Well i saw PAW PAW GENE ( louisiana board ) bring in a 17 or 18 inch red fish with a 10 ft BnM jig pole. So it will do it but after watching him i would not go out and target big salt water fish with mine I don't know how long it would last
Has anybody used their BnM rod for anythin other than crappie like for green carp, brown carp, white perch, or saltwater fish for that matter? I caught smallmouth bass and stream trout (rainbows and brookies) on my BnM floatnfly. I thought of taking it to the beach with me to use as a light speck rod for tossing free lined live shrimp, minnows, and 1/8 oz grubs. It could also be used to catch small blues on little kastmaster spoons, tattered rooster tails, and rapala plugs.
Oh I could wrestle a monster fish

Just my two cents:D
I use a 10' crappie rod for speckle trout fishing when I use a slip bobber with live bait in deeper water. The longer rod helps keep the slip knot out of the reel for better casting. Sometimes I use two 12' crappie rods when trolling for spanish. I put them in a rod holder that sticks almost straight out to the side. They work just like using outriggers.
We catch Channel cat over 6 lbs on 12' Bucks Jig Poles. Even went out one morning targeting Cats with them for kicks. :D

I bet they would work, just don't try using any of your 4lb test nonsense. Use at least 8lb fireline.

I've caught spanish mackerals on mine, tossing a small spoon.
