You can't go wrong with a BnM. However, the price kept me from buying eight of them so I went to Academy and bought 8 of the Tournament Choice rods for $20 a piece. All are 10' Tournament Choice rods. Compared to the BnM they are a little heavier but not that much. If you like REALLY light weight rods go with BnM. If you want a solid pole that will last then TC is a good one in my book.
In my opinion they are good rods! I use them all the time. They are strong and flexible and can detect a bite easily. I can monitor my rods out the front while trolling and can see the strike on the line by the tip of the rod moving. I like them and will buy again. May get the 11' or 12' next time.
Here is avideo of me trolling with them so you can see the action and how the rods sit in the holders. http://www.crappie.com/crappie/texas...on-luce-bayou/
