Need help on a jig pole

[jim8861]

I do a lot of jig fishing and use the sam heaton 10 & 12 foot pole's.like the very much but i'm looking to order new pole from grizzly jig's to.
I'm looking for a something that is lite my hand is getting bad and i can't hold the pole to long.was looking in the book but it don't tell you the weight of the rod's.
like to have sensitivity,lite and some back bone.
thank you guy's for your input.

The bnm bucks gold series jig pole is very ight feeling and has as much if not more sensitivity then the sams super sensitive. Its a little more pricey but i actually prefer it over the sams

get the BnM Bucks Best Ultra Light. I think the model is BBUL. It comes in different lenghts.

I have the Bucks Best Ultra Light with rear or bottom reel seat in 10' and it is super light and sensitive but not alot of back bone. The 10' model is a smaller diamiter than the 11'or12' so I would think they would have more back bone. I don't have a problem getting fish hooked with it but it's got some bend to it. I really like it when fishing all day because it's so light and I like the rear reel seat but if you want to use it in a rod holder you will the the regular handle.

Just bought one from Grizzly when we made the trip back up from the sippy fall camp. I oughta know this, but will havta look at the pole again. It's a 12' and super light. They matched it up with a nice level wind reel so it's balanced real nice. I'll look tomorrow and post the info.

Do they still have a web page? cab't get one to come up. I am asking about Grizzly jigs.

check out the 10 or 11ft ozark w/rear reel seat , they are light,sensitive and have plenty back bone !!!!! they are the best of the best !!!!!!!!!!!!

Try getting a hold of a Sam Heaton in 9' and a BGJP in 8'. I have 2 of the BGJP and want a pair of Sams rods bad. These balance very well and weigh very little. I don't know of any longer rods that don't come with some degree of fatigue. I move my hand forward til I find the balance point and find that even the smallest tap is felt easier than when the muscles in the forearm is flexed. Braided line also helps me feel every little thing.

I like the Sam Heaton poles too.they are suppose to have a rear reel seat model new sometime soon I haven't seen them yet but I'm looking for them. I just bought a couple of the ozark poles like meatgetter is talking about. It's a nice pole but best of the best is a stretch in my opinion. But it's definitely worth a look.
