Final decision was made after careful thought and consideration. And the new rods are.......
Also ordered 8 new reels, Shimano IX 2000r. I believe I will be very pleased with this combination. Thank you for your comments, and input. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6b6bacc63c.jpg

I have fished BGJPs in the past and I'd be lying if I said they where bad rods, BUT, I swapped to the Jenko Slab Cities mainly because I like the light tip (pretty close to the same sensitivity of a bgjp) but the Jenkos have more backbone down the rod which I want. I am not very hard on my gear because I want it to perform perfectly when I ask it too, but I can say and again I'm not hating on the BGJPs at all but I broke usually somewhere between 1-3 tips a year with them and I have not broke a tip yet on any of my Jenkos...

When I first started trolling it was due to having to keep up with the tournament anglers and the times. We started off fishing with 14'PST's. We then graduated to 16' BnM BGJP's and they just didn't seem to have to backbone that we needed to horse big fish in. We then decided to try the Jenko rods and fell in love! Thy have plenty of backbone to horse big fish in and still have a sensitive tip to see even the lightest of bites! Very pleased with all of the above with the Jenko trolling rods. I would definitely advise these rods to anyone looking for an all around trolling rod from the Giants of Grenada lake to the slabs of Kentucky lake!
Thanks, Matt
A fine choice! I have had my BGJP 143's for four years now I think and have not broken a tip. And not for lack of trying! Lol. I have bent the rods clean under the boat a time or two. I can be tough on gear at times. The only tip I have broken was a 12 pst that went between the boat and the dock.

I believe he uses 2oz weights. I'm not sure where he got his, but Chucky uses the trolling weights from Crawdads ( 25 Pack 2oz Inline Trolling Sinkers are perfect for getting to the fish. )
I also believe there's a member here that makes these style "trolling weights" and has swivels on them. Sorry, but I can't remember the member's screen ID, as I'm not in the market for them, myself. I use barrel sinkers (donated to me by Chucky when he switched to the torpedo shaped weights).
Over the years i have fished with about ever trolling poles ever made i finally selled on Bgjp and Pst. Used them for years then JENKO came along i use the Spider Troll and the SLAB CITY in my opinion they are the best pole i ever used !!!!
