Hi Guys
I am new here on the forum, and have a question, for someone who know about the B & M Sam Heaton Crappie pole----how many guides does this rod have in the 11 ft. length. I ask Basspro and they couldn't tell, because it was not listed on the website. I am thinking of buying one of these rods, and i am hoping that it has at least 12 to 13 guides. I have read some great reviews about the rod. Thanks for any help Bill

B&M, Bass pro, and wally Marshal are great rods and you can rest assured they all have enough eyes . Cant tell you exactly. It is a bunch .
Don't know about the 11 ft, but the 10 ft has 9. You will love it.Almost feel the fish swim by, its so sensitive.
I am debating weather to get the migthy lite or the Sam Heaton---guides mean a lot to me on crappie poles, the mighty lite has 13, and I would guess the Heaton has 9, both are light weighted, I like the lightness of the mighty lite and all the guides, but not the handle, the Heaton has a cork handle and the guides are a brass oxide, I need to actually touch both rods to make up my mind. Thanks for the comment

I have both rods. I have fished them BOTH extensively. The heaton is so far superior that it's not even close. the mighty lite is a good rod, dont get me wrong. BUt the heaton is just THAT good. I have four 9', and a 10' heaton. Wouldnt take 10 rods of any caliber for them.
hope this helps
Sorry for the late reply, been fishiing the last day or two, but I will tell you that you may have made up my mind as far as the rod selection is concerned. I will go ahead and get the Heaton. You are not the only one who has great reviews for this rod. I will be picking it up next week. Thanks for your help and all the others who responded this question. I know where to come to get some infomation on crappie equipment.
