Thanks for all the info looks like a lot of mixed reviews I guess you get what you pay for. I'm headed to Grizzly in the morning so I guess I'll just decide when I get there.
imo pinnacle limits are fine for longlining.... but get quality rods for tightlining the cheap rods have too limber tips and will bounce way more than quality rods, and where i fish bass fisherman love to burn gas and run back and forth and here and there.....good rods help keep my blood pressure in an acceptable range when the dang boats a bouncing.

[QUOTE=rebranger;3352871]What don't ya'll like about them?
I need to get me a set of long line / spider rig poles and don't want to spend a bunch. What poles are the 4 for $80 @ Grizzly Jig? I'm up here & saw them but don't remember the brand....
.
They don't have the backbone that I like, to flimsy.
Not sure on the 4 for $80 but most all of the poles they sell in a package deal.
Two new things I see worth looking at.. Tony Sheppard at Jenko Fishing has a new line of stinger shad in great colors, up to 3 inches in length, and a new really light 12 ft dip net

The limit rods have worked well for me for long lining, I have used them for 3-4 years. I use a 2 12' and 2-8' out the side and 4 8' in the back. But I agree with others they are not a great rod for spider rigging. For spider rig I use the Jenko spider trolls, these rods have a great backbone. For long lining I like a spinning reel and for spider rigging I prefer a baitcasting reel so two sets for me is a must.

Why not buy the real deal B&M Pro Staff, that's what they are made for. Buy once and be done with it, they are the best...
All other poles are compared to B&M, so that tells you what is the best, and they stand behind them...
I don't know of anyone who's bread and butter is long lining that would even consider a BnM Pro Staff rod, they are a fair slo trolling rod, a good powertrolling rod and a good cranking rod but I've never heard them referred to as a good long lining pole. BGJP on the other hand is good for both longling and spider rigging.
