Thread: Are those BPS Crappie Max poles worth having?

I have 2-11 footers, 1-10 footer, and a 7 footer. I spider rig with longer poles and cast with shorter. I like mine, only problem is they are not as long as I wish. I have had mine doubled over under boat hung up in trees and never had one break. I am pretty rough on them too. The 7 footer is a great rod. My wife picked it out for her but I use it if she ain't with me.

They did replace one and it broke as well. This happened a couple years ago. I was happy they replaced one, but not that they kept breaking in the same manner. Bad batch I guess.

I really don't know how rods, of "ANY" make, just break....
Must be some mean Specks around!

Sometimes they're made with an inferior batch of blanks, guides are not put on the correct seam, or they get mishandled during shipment. That's not to even consider that simply dropping them in the boat, putting undue stress on the tips during normal fishing activities, or having them bounce against the boat during transport can weaken the rods to the point where they fail under normal fishing activities. And you may not even be aware of these things happening, but the cumulative effects can weaken the rod yet still be unnoticeable.
