    Default Info please


    can anybody tell me which is stiffer at the tip section?
    The Black Beauty Bream Pole or BnM Bream Buster Pole in the 10 & 12 ft lengths.
    If Im correct the Southbend Black Beauty Bream is a graphite pole,while the BnM Bream Buster is fiberglass.
    Dont have to be either of these, but I'm looking for the stiffest tip section I can find for a telescopic pole,for pulling them out of the pads
    Borrowed a Little Jewel off a buddy,like to never got the thing in the boat,it was too limber for my taste.
    Shooting Star is decent but want something a little better if its out there.
    Already got Sam Heatons,etc but dont use them much,like them with no reel for jigging
    Thank you

    I happen to have a 10 ft B&M Bream Buster.
    It is definitely "too" flexible on the tip !
    I love it, but, can't haul the fish up and into the boat quickly, is just too flexible, have to grab the line with other hand and help it on up, etc.
    Plus, when I got the thing, started to tie line to tip and the tip came right off. Had to wrap sewing thread around tip then mix up some two part epoxy and coat it, been working fine since, cept for the haulin into the boat thing.
    The other pole I couldn't say........

    thanks Phantom, even tho I wasnt looking for a 1 piece ,I ran across a graphite one piece blank at the "Candy Store" in Lake Wales that I will put a tip it, and a wrap on the handle part.It seems stiff enough for jigging.
