    Default New rod hunting


    Hello everybody!
    I currently use 6’6” st Croix Triumph for all of my panfishing...I am really considering purchasing a B’n M rod! Any length, series or model I should look for? I’ve never tossed a B’n M before?

    The B n M Sam's Super Sensitive 7ft and 9ft and the 8ft graphite jig poles are excellent in my opinion.

    The type fishing you will be doing with it should determine what length and type of pole you will need. BnM has many different ones for different purposes.

    Check out their six foot sharpshooter rod. Loved it for pan fishing.

    This right here. How you fish determines what type of rod works best.

    No. Just get what you can afford. Not everybody is willing to spend that much on a rod or even a reel. Frugal people catch fish too.

    I'm too cheap to pay the retail price of rods. Look for clearance sales after the first of the year that most retailers have. Last year I bought a nice selection of BnM rods ranging from 10'-13' from Academy for $7-$10 each. Their normal retail price was from $129-$149 each. One month later they had restocked the same rods at their regular retail price. I'm hoping they do the same this year as I need to replace two 10' rods that were borrowed from my boat this year.

    You'll be hard pressed to find a nicer array of rods that what B n' M has to offer. Check out Grizzly Jig Co. for the best selection and pricing. The Sam Heaton Super Sensitive (SHSS) series is excellent.

    I commented a while back while I was looking for a new rod that the 7’ BnM Sam Heaton rods were a little whippy for me. The Crappie I have been catching here lately are 20-25’ deep and most barely “bite”, sometimes pole lds up very little. I am appreciating this rod more ever day. Give one a try. I put a Shimano Sedona 1000 reel on mine and like it better than the 20 Series Pflueger cause the spool is larger diam and is easier on line
