    Are they graphite or fiberglass? I would guess fiberglass at that price. Not necessarily bad but heavier and less sensitive.

    Default IM 6 are graphite rods

    Wal mart has them and they are crappie hunters not crappie master.

    I was at the big sportmans store and looked at the big name rods that are also IM-6 rods and they wanted $44.95 each. Now all IM-6 rods are made at the same plant in China they just put different names on them and different eyelets colors and such but same action.

    Bought two of them with reel already on. Broke the first one when it got hung
    and I couldn't get the boat stopped in time. The other I broke when I was sinking brush. Got caught on one of the trees as I was throwing it over the side. I guess I'm rough on my rods but I don't think they will take to much
    abuse.
    You will become like those with which you associate.

    I both pulled and pushed BnM's for several years and NO complaints but they were kinda mixed up. Last year with my stimulus check I bought 10 crappie masters and 10 diawa spinning reels (cheap ones). I had $30 total in each rod but it made a MATCHING set. I have fished them almost one year, pulling totally, so far with no complaints (actually quite happy). They are HEAVIER and stiffer but I have swung in several fish over a lb into the boat including some +5lb green carp. Haven't broke one yet (knock on wood). I think they may be too stiff for pushing but I haven't tried them for that.
