BnM Stick - I like it...

[dhaire]

Well, being slow but always know I can contact someone to help I finally found the B&M stick on Grizzly Jigs website. I thought someone was phishing (smile) the rod location and about wore out the B&M website looking for it. Had to contact the man himself, Slab, who graciously and without making me feel bad pointed out the exact location. Good news is it is ordered and already shipped. Looking forward to trying a new rod. Now, where did I leave those fish...

How stiff or how much backbone does the stick have verses a 12 foot PST trolling rod?

Feels about the same in the hand as a 14 ft pst. But the Stick has lots more backbone, and it's out closer to the tip. Plus the stick is 13.5 ft, two piece rod, vs 14 ft PST which is a three piece rod.

I've been using 12 ft and 14 ft trolling rods with live scope but with larger crappie have to use net.
The stick sounds like what I need.

What I don't get is building a 13 ft rod and putting the reel seat a foot and a half from the end. Seems like a 12 footer with a rear seat would have as much usable length. Sliding rings let you put it where it fits best.
