    I have never used them, but I am told they are comparable to a Wally Marshall rod. And Wally Marshall rods are all that I fish with.

    I use the 16' longlining and they suit me just fine.

    Cuz and I have been using the Crappie Max Tightline rods for pulling for years. I pull 16, 14 and 12 footers. They used to be called Wally Marshall Tightline rods until Wally and Bass Pro broke up! They are the most durable rods I have ever used for pulling jigs. BPS has them on sale for $10.00 off each rod online.

    These rods have a high vis tip and a nice new color . I paid full price for mine so take advantage of the sale and load up, you can't go wrong. I have a dozen of these rods in my arsenal and I use them tightling and longlining. They are a little heavy for jigging (IMO) but that's not what they're made for. The 14' are easier to handle but I prefer the 16' cause they are farther away from the boat... try both. I also plan to purchase the signature series during the sale. GO AHEAD AND STEP UP YOUR GAME!

    Picked up one of the "new" signature series in 12' for single poling and really liking it with the limited amount I have been able to use it.

    Like you, not impressed with the reels. I have 2 - 9' wally tightlines and like em fine but they're a lot stiffer than the BGJP I also have, better for trolling than single poling. Wallys rods and the Crappie maxx are alike in the actions, I believe the label was changed and little else. I just bought a Maxx in 11' and have yet to use it but it is about as stiff in comparison to the 9's I already have. I need 1 more 11' to help set up the pushing rig I have in mind. Just input on what I have noticed comparing first hand what I have. 3 piece rods still in my future.
    Creativity is just intelligence fooling around
