Crappie Maxx @ Bass Pro

[JigMaster]

Just got the bps catalog today. Did they get rid of the Wally rods and gear and change to the crappie maxx name? What happen?

Yep, WM is out on his own and the still have the same rod with a different name. No big deal.

Talked to Wally at the CM Tourney at Truman when the line went on close out at BP and I asked him if he was changing the design or what was going on and he wouldn't say exactly what happened but he said that he and BP were in negotiations so I asume that he sold the Wally Marshal line to BP; and they changed the name to Crappie Maxx same rods and same quality. I use the Tightline Specials and love them. I used the BnM PST's and I like them too but when I get into the brush and start getting all the rods hung up at once and start to try hand pop them loose the PST's have a tendency to snap I have yet to snap a TLS.

They still have the rods and gear....they are the BPS CrappieMax.....It was a marketing decision more than likely....Wallys contract was not renewed with BPS. Word is that Wally is working on coming out with his own line of rods in the future. Wally is still affiliated with TTI Blakemore and the Mr. Crappie , Crappie Thunder Road Runners as well as the Mr. Crappie, Slab Daddy Jigs are still availabe. This kinda stuff happens all the time as satdoc said...its no big deal.

Nobody knows for sure, but Wally and BPS have clearly parted ways. It's pretty common for a company to make products, put a guys name on it, and try to have him promote and sell it. What I really want to know is, who is the new guy, Crappie Max

My money is on Beagle man

[mduncan62]

I have definitive information that Wally Designed and tested and tweaked all the rods that had his name sold at BPS. Disregard my comment above, in this case it's not the correct assumption.

I'd imagine there'll be some new information coming out about the new rods soon.

The new BPS Angler catalog that just came out has the MR. Crappie, bobbers, hooks, sinkers, and rod holders listed in it. BPS is still handling some Mr. Crappie products.
