    Default BnM 14’ rods


    Is there any noticeable differences in the BnM trolling rods and other BnM 14’ rods?
    If I dont ask its my fault for not knowing

    Yes ... 14' rods other than PST's or Power Trollers are not as stiff. And the Power Troller would be stiffer than a PST. My 14' Capps/Coleman rods are not as stiff as my 14' PST. I'm not sure about the BGJP's and where in the lineup they fall, because I only have a 12' BGJP rod, but I'd think it would be less stiff than my C/C rods. I'd also think the 14' Diamond Series would be less stiff than a BGJP.
    Look at the weight range & line size range of each model for more telling info.

    Thanks for the reply
    Wouldn't a stiffer rod be preferred for a 14’ rod to land fish faster?
    I have 5 14’ PST rods and just trying to utilize them for live scope is why I’m asking.

    If you're Pushing jigs I'd go with a C/C 14' rod - If you're Pushing cranks I'd say the PST rods are preferable - if you're Livescope sniping I'd say a 14' Diamond Series rod would be lighter in the hand than either of the other two. (I use a 12' Diamond Series rod for LS sniping/flippin double jig rigs) Even if not flippin' jigs, but vertical jigging, a lighter weight rod won't wear you down as fast as the heavier/stiffer rods.
