Thread: BnM vs. Jenko Trolling Rods

I have used Jenko poles for 3 yrs and never broke a rod or tip I also have sold several hundred and only had one person call me about a broken tip and he said he shut a truck door on it !!!

You've been fortunate then Jerry, know several folks that went back to what they were using before after breaking several poles (Jenkos), just a fact.

Tell them to contact me iwould be interested in talking to them about how and where there was breaking !!!

They have been in contact with Jenko

Slow vertical trolling rods are more about your style of fishing and your budget than anything. If you like to crank and troll and can only buy one set of six, BNM PST would be tough to beat. If you don't pull cranks, and you don't like to hold the rods in heavy winds, BNM Bucks would be a good option. If you set the hook like a bass fisherman, backbone may cost you, but if you don't, backbone make suit you. If you're a braid fisherman, you may consider cermanic inserts in the eyes. IMO, no slow vertical trolling rod is made with the quality of a St. Croix or Loomis, so you have to make do with the selection available and your style. Disclaimer: I've used and broke or damaged all brands except Denaili, and I'm not a rod pro-staffer.
