    Default Stiff BnM Rod?


    I am using the PST 16' and may want to get something with a little more backbone, if thats possible. Which BnM would you guys recommend? I currently use the 3/4oz sinker on my spider rigs, but was thinking of keeping a few rigged with 1.5oz or a little better in case the water gets a little rough. I may end up calling BnM if I need to. Suggestions?

    Southern Crappie Rods is coming out with a new pushing rod that should do exactly what you are wanting to do, think he is only doing 14 footers for right now.

    If you could find some of the old Wally Marshal tight line specials, I think they would do the trick. Very strong and stiff, you whoop a fence post with them and they wouldn't splinter. They can also tote some mighty heavy weight.

    I think the Crappie Maxx tight line special is the same as the old Wally Marshal tight line special. I just do not have any personal experience with the Crappie Maxx. Sometimes subtle changes make a big difference, I honestly do not know if they are the same. But I bet ya someone here does.

    I have 8. 2 B & M and 6 tight line specials. The Crappie Maxx are stiff with plenty of backbone and they are still very sensitive. Wouldn't trade 'em for nothing. I know B & M has the name and all of the prostaffers to boot, but I'm gonna stick with the Crappie Maxx.

    And you are right, BRM. They are the same rods. Only a different name after BPS and Wally Marshall parted ways.

    16' Slow Trol rods have more backbone.

    BnM Crappie Wizard Trolling rods are stiffer. I actually use them to pull cranks with.
