I like BnM products because they work for me. I've also had the pleasure of being a field tester for BnM when they introduced their 8' Crappie Float/Fly rod (Jim Duckworth Signature series). I've also had the support of BnM/Jack Wells for all of the Spring Fling & Fall Brawl tournaments (Tenn) & gatherings (Ky) that I've hosted since 2001. And BnM has been a major supporter of Crappie.com for nearly two decades.
