    Grizzly Jig is certainly the place to get the best bang for your buck. There are a lot of folks here with vastly more experience with the long rods than what I can offer. But I will tell you this, the B n' M Sam Heaton Super Sensitive is one heck of a rod. I have both the 7' and 9' models. Very light and sensitive and cost effective as well. JMO.

    There are certainly alot of good poles out there but for the last 2 years I've been using Ozark rods. My go to is an 8ft ultralight which I have hauled in an 8 lb hybrid/wiper on and caught plenty of crappie on days the bite was super light. I've got a 10 ft jigging pole that is incredibly sensitive and light as a feather. They've got an 11 ft rear seat that is great for folks with wrist problems or lack of forearm strength.

    I like the bgjp, Sam heaton action is alittle light gor my liking.The bgjp is alittle stiffer than the sam heaton,with the sam heaton you have to set the hook real hard to get a good hookset.Also if your not site jigging and jigging structure 6fow or deeper I would probally stay with a 10-11ft rod and get the lightest reel you can find.I use a cheap wally marshall spinning reel think it weighs around 5ozs.

    I can't hold one to long because of my shoulder but I won a DuckCommander double touch in 10 ft that I really like. It's almost as light as my SamHeaton and coupled with one of those little B&M plastic reels I can hold it most of the day. It is very sensitive and I have hauled in some 2 lb fish with it. Thinking about getting a 12 ft one.

    Grizzly Jig carries the Grizzly Elite in a 12' model. I have 5 of them. It's the best jig pole I've ever owned.

    +1 . I will add that if you intend to flip them in the boat with no net do not buy this rod . I have two and love them , all I use jigging . The b/m custom is also a good rod .
