    Default Best BnM rod for vertical fishing?


    Whats the best BnM rod for vertical fishing brushpiles using minners on a carolina rig? Something sensitive, can handle either braid or mono, and not longer than my boat (14ft jon boat). I love my float and fly to death but it isn't really that sensitive for touch fishing I call it.

    I have several of the bucks graphite jig poles that work well for me. The 8' with a jig suspended over a brush pile has been lots of fun for me lately and the price is modest. It balances well and weighs very little. The Sam Heaton super sensitive has a large following of happy folks too. Go to a big BPS or Grizzly jig or someplace that you can handle lots of them at once.They're all a little different and what I don't like might appeal to you.

    I use the Sam Heaton and love the feel and the sensitivity of the rod. I use a 10'r and plan on getting a couple more and trying an 11'. The 7'6" is a good rod too!

    I got a Heaton 7 foot super sensitive at grizzly Jigs show . Picked out for me by the one and only Jerry Blake. His luck musta rubbed off on it. Pulls in the fishes for sure. I like it.

    It depends to some degree what you are using it for. I us the Sam Heaton 11' Super Sensitive when I am jiggin fairly open brush piles. I have learned from experience, and BnM will tell you the same thing, never ever try to lift a fish in the boat with this pole. I know some will disagree with me and tell you that you can do it. You can do it but it will eventually catch up with you and you will break the tip section. BnM themselves will tell you to "DIP THEM OR LIP THEM" when using the Super Sensitive. One the other hand if you are going to fish heavy brush or lilly pads and etc. I would suggest you take a look at the Brush Cutter. It has more backbone and you can jerk one out of the brush, timber, and lilly pads and you won't have to set there and cry because you busted the tip. IMHO!!!
