    LACrappie master, how did the BnM's work out?
    I went with the ACC trolling rods, even though they are not made for crankbaits, I thought they would good for trolling minnows and even dipping (got to duel purpose my stuff ) and they are working out very well. Even brought in a 4lb flathead that hit the minnow, so I am pretty happy.

    Do you fish in the winter ? i Had the pro staff and went to the new BGJP . best out there for all year use in my shallow opinion . Ronnie Capps put me on them and said for less than .5 the 14 bgjp's is his go to . The Capps/ Coleman rods in a 16 ft. if an ounce of weight is needed or speed over .5 mph .

    I almost exclusively use BGJPs in the winter. I use the PSTs and Capps & Coleman for pushing, Which is my my year is my first year pushing.

    So I been using 16’ BNM power Troller for my outside rods pulling crankbaits and I love them, wish I had chose the pst instead since I have yet to push. I use 12’ pst for my middle rods I like both

    Here is the difference in backbone pushing Arkie 350s, with a 2 oz weight at 1.8 mph.
    Left is 14’ Capps and Coleman
    Right is 12’ PST
