bnm poles

I use 10 and 12 ft. rods...

I've got 4 - 12', 2 - 9', 2 - 7' that make a nice spread around my bow without tangling, or having lines run in the same path as each other. 7's and 9's can also be used for casting when the fish start running shallow.

what about the west point rods are they good or not

I used the BnM west point series for years and was very happy with them. I still have some of them and use them from time to time. After rigging out a full array of the Sam Heaton SS's in various lengths and the Buck's graphites, I find it hard to fish with anything else.

I still use my Westpoint 10 footers. Garage full of them. I paid less than 20 bucks for them, now the bout 30+. Still good poles. I like the Richard Williams 10 footers better, more backbone......Both good poles though...

102J Westpoint. Tip cost more than the pole did originally.

You can get the B&M at Bass Pro. I use the Sam's Favorite and have found it to be a really good pole. Only had one to break and that was when it got hung in the boat rod locker and my grandson used a little too much force to get it out. The reason I use Bass Pro is that they are only a couple miles away. Also you can pick up the other rods and compare. By the way, I use 10 and 12 foot rods. They are nice and lite. Makes it easier on an old man. Bass pro also has some of the B&M Santee specials or something like that and they feel really good, but they are the ones with no guides. The line goes down the center of the pole and it comes with this long wire to thread it. I was afraid it would be a pain so I didn't try it.

I like the BnM poles. As far as the West Point poles, I bought some and did not care for them. I now use the crappie wizard model in 12 foot and am very happy. I like the yellow tip. They work just fine for spider rigging.

I bought 3 BnM rods( 2 for trolling) last year from Grizzly Jig Store by phone, They only charged ONE flat rate shipping Price $7.50 about for all 3 Rods, try getting Bass Pro to do that Ha Ha. Shipping was fast about 3 days to northern IL, & they were very helpful in helping with the selection. Great people to do business with. They will get my business again.

personally would recomend a different rod manufacter bnm poles suck in my opioin wally marshalls for years 1 breakage i can not keep a bnm pole from breaking my rods are stored so no one can walk on them and every so often snach into one of them big talquin perch and the top section will split, i personally will never own another one unless they are $10 each or they are free from bnm which neither one will probably happen

Here has been my experience with Bucks B&M jigging poles.
In the spring of 06 I purchased a 10 ft pole from the Walmart in
Grenada MS, I have put a few hundred hours on this rod and liked it.

Since the stores up here in Denver don't carry the B&M rods I
ordered 3 of them from Grizzly Jigs, When I asked the lady that took my
order if she would have the rods looked over to make sure they were OK
before being shipped she said they would. When the rods arrived the 11
ft rod was missing the ceramic in the second eye from the tip, Since the rod was sealed in a plastic bag I checked to see if it was in the bag and it
wasn't. When I returned it for a replacement I again asked them if they would make sure the replacement was OK before they shipped.
When the replacement tip arrived the first thing I noticed was a large drop of glue or laqrue sp had dried on the first Eye (It looked like a drop of liquid before falling off except it was hard). Well, instead of sending it back I just took my dermal sp and some steel wool and took it off. Now as for these 3 rods One of them lost the ceramic in the front Eye (I replaced it), the second rod has the ceramic piece in the 3rd eye that keeps coming out (I pop it back in).
The 3rd rod (The 11 ft. one broke about 8 inches down from the center joint while I was raising a small amount of weeds out of the water .

The B&M I bought in Grenada is still doing great!
I have many old Fenwicks and some others most over 20 years old, I also have a 9 &1/2 ft WM 2 years old and love them (I have not had any issues with any of these!)

I would not pay more than $20.00 for a B&M rod again and If I bought one
you could bet I would look it over real well!

I just purchased 4 off these rods on Ebay (from the link below) I liked them so much I ordered the last two he had. I would recommend to anyone to "Jump on them if he offers any more"
