    Default gonna buy a new set of rods, looking for opinions


    hey guys so i have a half rack of the old tony edgar ozarks, and a half rack of slab daddys, all are 14' i am looking to buy a set of 8 that all match. i primarily push crankbaits under a 3oz weight so im looking for a fairly stiff rod - the ozarks were perfect but they dont make them anymore i guess. the slab daddys are way to flexible for my style of fishing. what should i get? please be specific - B&M makes several variants for instance. Do I want 14' PSTs? Something else? Thanks in advance

    how much heavier is the power troller than a pst? is it still usable to push jigs with or is it too heavy?

    I fish B&M PST 16's. You don't want to try to push cranks with mine.

    I second M R Dux. Give Ed Duke a call at Southern Crappie Rods and he'll hook you up. Sounds like you want the SCR143Ts if you are looking to push crankbaits. The standard SCR143s is what I use for spidderrigging with 1/4 oz - 1oz weight and I love them. Only regret is that I didn't buy Southern Crappie Rods from the get go.
    Hooking up every chance I get!

    Might give ACCCRAPPIESTIX a look also.
    I have a couple of the jig poles and they are quality rods.
    I know Andy has trollers and assume they are good too.

    One set for everything ? Not a rod better than bgjp for spider rigging . Had Ozarks, Southern, Pst. They (bgjp)are not for pulling /pushing cranks though .PS . Do not boat flip with bgjp as you will need lots of tips . You will see more bites though . Capps and Coleman Turned me on to them . was the best move I made to catch fish on a double minnow rig .
