I have and use the 13' black widows with reel seats coupled with mini buck's reels for spider rigging up here.

Anyone use them?
I bought a couple recently (10ft B&M black widow- and a B&M 12 Duck Commander) with the goal of using them to catch small bluegill for catfish bait. I thought they would be perfect for placing bait right next to weeds to get the small guys.
I liked them so much I bought 3 more. A 14ft skeeter pole, a 20ft black widow, and also got a 13ft black widow with reelseat and guides to try.
I have yet to break them in, but am excited to do so soon!

Life has many choices, eternity has two...choose wisely.
Unapplied biblical truth is like unapplied paint...how many gallons do you have sittin' around? U.D.
I like to dip stumps with them when fish are up in the spring. Lots of fun.

How do you guys rig them?
A few feet looped through the end eyelet is what I planned. Do some have line wound on the keepers and then up through the eyelet- so u can change line amount?
All of mine have reel seats or bands to hold a reel in place. They have a guide at the top of each section. I have a bunch from 8 to 18', mostly 14 and 16 footers.
BnM, Slatter and a few other companies use to offer a guide kit. The rings were different size to slid onto the rod and some had different size guides, but mostly the same.

I use the B&M 10' black widows for spider fishing in the lake I fish. It is a lake with mostly 12' and less water and they work good for me. If the fish are high in the water I use corks and the rest of the time I tight line with them. I land some pretty good crappie and catfish with them and they are pretty tough poles. Here is a picture of some fish I caught this morning using them.
Be safe and good luck fishing
I have several in different lengths,but I use the 13' with eyelets and a reel most of the time.I dap with it in log jambs,and around stumps,I recently caught a 5 lb channelcat while using minnows under a slip bobber for crappie,lots of fun.
I have a 12' and 18' and fish them both regularly. I tie the line (about a foot shorter than the pole) directly to the tip. No reel.
My wife encouraged me to try one we saw at Wally a while back, I declined but may now reconsider.
I use a 10ft Shakespeare Durango almost exclusively. I bought it out of curiosity and it quickly became my favorite.
