Thread: B and M Trolling Rods

Get some BnM BGJP if all you do is troll with light weights. You will not be disappointed!

I use BnM Capps and Colemans for spider rigging. Some like the BnM BGJP's....I think the tips are more sensitive on the C and C's

If your happy with the southern's why would you change over a couple of bucks difference in price? In my opinion ( and I know B&M is a sponsor ) there is no comparison to their sensitivity and back bone on the southern's. And I have both.

You might want to look at the jenko slab city poles . They are a Great light weight rod and are very reasonably priced !!!

Bgjp's(bucks graphite jig pole),I just bought a some.I had 14ft southerns and just switched to the bgjp's.The bgjp's will beat the southerns when it's windy,both have a good sensitive tip.The southerns have more backbone and are tougher,harder to break though.

capps &coleman for me

Hands down. BGJP’s for me.

The C&C poles are light but very whippy and they roll around when lifting a 1 lb fish. Gotta net anything over that.

The wind is what made me change, don't even try it with the 16s. I use the white poles and have been very very happy with them. If you can cherry pick your days poles don't matter much but on a tough day, whether it be wind or super lite bight or whatever, poles make a huge difference. Price to me has gotten to where it just don't matter, if it works for me and I'm confident in it then I will have it. May have to not take Ms. Tammy out a time or two but thats ok. We spend a lot of change in our sport, some of it not needed, buying what we want, but when you find a pole, a hook, a line, a rig, ect. ect. , you like you go with it. I learn so much each year and I hope and pray I have many more years.
Been on the phone texting with a friend I met fishing tournaments, helping him here, he helps me in the delta and we learn from each other. This aspect of what we do here and on the lake is my favorite part.
Best advice is to get in the boat with someone who has what you are looking at and fish with them, no better way to try em then to slime some up.
Good luck whatever you decide, have fun and post some pics of the slabs you catch with them.
