Don't think you will be disappointed one bit.

Tell Ed you heard about them on Crappie.com.

Good luck!

Ok let me put my 2c in. I have fished bnm since day 1 so I can't tell you what is better. But I will say I have fishes side by side with my bnm vs southern crappie and have filled a live well to the brim when the other never saw a bite. But, I am very hard on equipment and order pole tips in bulk. I would imagine I go through around 10 to 12 tips a year. The strongest pole I had was the 14 ft pst by bnm. That pole may very well be the best trolling pole of all time.

Bgjp 16 ft forgot to say what I am fishing

We tightline with 16ft southern crappie rods and love em. We pull with psts and love them too. I have never used bnm to spider rig and never used scr to pull so I can't give a side by side but I will tell you we are very satisfied with both and do not feel the need to change either set up.

Ok now I can't make up my mind again. I want to sprider rig with 12,14,and 16 foot poles using up to maybe 3 ozs. of weight (but less than that most of the time). So now what are y'alls suggestions?

**Rees Guide** · 03-05-2016, 07:31 AM

BGJPS won't handle 3 oz, the southern in the new trolling will and the PST will

**Cray** · 03-05-2016, 07:59 AM

Like Rees said, southern just came out with a new rod to push that kind of weight and the PST was designed for that kind of weight. I have PST's and Southern's. Love the Southern's but have caught a lot of fish on the PST spider rigging. The southern is just as tough or tougher and a bit cheaper.

I use the Crappiemaxx for 3-4 oz weight. Going to use the PST's now that I have a set. Gonna either use my BGJP's or the C&C tips on the PST's for spider rigging.

I guess y'all can tell I'm on a limited budget. I can swing 3 poles right now but bird downs post put me back to undecided on what to buy. I got all BGJP now in length from10 thru 16 feet. I spider rig with them and love em for single pole. But on a windy day around Graysport they bounce a lot. That's why I'm looking to get some different rods that are sensitive and can handle the wind even with some weight on them. So you guys that spider rig, help me make the right decision. Thanks.
