I'm looking to add a 16 ft rod to my crank pulling setup. That way have an 8, 12, and 16. Question I have is which rod. Have about narrowed it down to either B&M pst or southern crappie rod. Which holds up the best. Thanks

You have it narrowed down to 2 very good rods. If you go with Southerns I would go with the heavy 2oz series. :twocents
Southern, I mistakenly bought PST's when I started cranking and have replaced at least 4 or 5 tips. I have a set of 8 16' SCR's I troll with and they're tough as nails

Southern Crappie SCR163T will be available in 2-3 weeks. It will be worth the wait. I have used a prototype and just like his others, tough as nails.
Go with Southern, B&M's have a tip problem.
Use 8ft,12ft,16 ft pst's and a b&m 410

Were your southern crappie rods the heavier duty model?Quote:

Is the SCR163T better for pulling cranks than the regular by that much. I pull from front of boat until can upgrade trolling motor. Looking to keep the 4' gap I currenly have between lines.
Yes, it's going to be stiffer because it was designed to carry heavier weight when pushing or pulling. My regular 14's pull cranks ok but get a good bend. The T model will not flex as bad when pulling. A lot like PST. I would wait for that rod.
