[catchNgrease]

10 ft B&M Duck Commander double touch paired with a Mr Crappie Solo and use the line that came with it. Run ya about $55 for the combo.

Well I needed to go a little longer too, to reach over some limbs to reach the ledges where the crappie are holding here in the Pearl River and already owned some of the Mighty Lite rods in 12ft but they are the green ones. While in the Flowood, MS BPS they had a new silver one with the green tip. For less than $50 it was a cheap try-me but except the length of the handle it just keeps put'em in the boat for me very well. They changed to power curve a bit. I had to hold it too far from my body due to handle length. I have my own line of rods, have built rods most of my life so I just cut off the handle leaving just enough to catch in a rod holder. After sanding a very slight radius in the EVA on the "new" end I took a razor to the drop removing a inch of the EVA at the Butt Cap. A few seconds over a bic lighter and the original CNC Aluminum Butt Cap slid right out. I had to reduce the taper size with a dremel tool so it would fit the butt of the rod again. I epoxied it in and have not looked back. Did the same to a 14ft BGJP too. Both are my go to extra reach poles. The BPS Rod now has a duplicate, I fish them both at the same time very comfortable. BPS has free shipping at $50.

been looking at 2 rods, any thoughts on one vs the other, one is the b&M duck commander double touch around 40 bucks or the Buck's best ultra lite with bottom seat and touch system model BBULBS12 around 60 bucks

I decided I wanted a long rod for fishing over tall bank brush on canal bank. I got a 3 piece 16' . I think it is a B&M. It worked well for the intended use but will wear down the arms pretty fast.

Ive never cared much for a bottom seat rod. Funny thing is I hold my double touch above the reel. Both are great rods but I'd choose the double touch very time.

Ozark 10' rod is my favorite vertical jig rod. Have a 12' baitcaster crappie rod my son made for me to slip bobber Truman tree lines. Can adjust slip bobber a lot faster and get down to the correct depth with the baitcasting reel with flipping feature.
