    Default 14 foot trolling rods


    I'm looking to buy some 14 foot rods to troll with any ideas? I would like to have something that would handle a 1/2 oz. weight.

    I have a couple of Wally Marshall's that I like. They are light weight and would handle 1/2 very well.

    I use B&M trolling rods as well as Wally Marshalls. They both do very well. The WM's have a little more back bone though. I use 1/2 oz to 1 oz weights and both handle them fine. I also fish a 3 hook leader.

    Everhardts in Jefferson City or Tombstone Tackle in Columbia, MO should be able to help, expect to pay $35 to $50 for the rod. Tombstone often orders if it is not in stock. Good luck, Bruce

    I have a WM 14 footer and use a ½oz weight and it handles it ok. When I fish alone I have problem landing fish with that long rod. My 11 footer is a lot easier to get the fish in the boat.

    I had some problems finding slip bobbers that would handle that weight but did find some after looking.

    Default B'n'M Trolling Rods

    B'n'M Poles has a 14' Trolling Rod (#PST143) made of 100% graphite. It was tested with a 5 oz. sinker going 2 mph, and it was stiff enough to withstand that aggressive style, yet its very sensitive to feel the slightest nibble.

    Before you buy any trolling rods, I'd suggest that you at least take a look, hold it, and see for yourself if the B'n'M Trolling Rods is for you. I absolutely love them!

    Default Not too stiff

    !/2 oz. is not a lot of weight. Make sure the rod you choose will bend sufficiently with a 1/2 oz. weight so that you can see it relax if a fish comes up with the bait. A rod that is too stiff will not bend enough for you to see this. I use 14 ft. Wally Marshall's, but I suggest you pick up and feel whatever you choose before you buy.

    I also have (2) 14'ft Wally Marshalls that I really like and I also have (2) B'n'M Pro-Troller's in 14'ft that are equally as nice.....you really can't go wrong with either of them in my opinion!!!
    I won't be at work........I'm feelin' crappie today!
