    I have used them for the past year. I have 2 each 12,10,8fters. I just replaced them with bnm pst 16',12',&8"ers. For the $ you cant beat the HT . I have had them hang up and bend over double and never broke one. Also landed 4-5 lb catfish with them. I dont know how many eyes they have ,but I do know not as many as the bnm rods. They are fiberglass and a little heavier than a graphite rod. I longline troll 99% of the time so not sure about the sensitivity part. I chose the HT rods because I was just starting out trolling and the price was so cheap. When I ordered them from Monkscrappie Mr.Monk pointed out that a replacement tip section for a bnm cost more than an entire HT rod. I hope this helps you out.

    You can find them at monks crappie. That's where I saw them. I am ordering 8 14' BnM jig poles from grizzly jig.com I'm pretty sure they have ht panfish rods also. I just didn't know anything about them so I thought I would ask.

    I've used them for years. For trolling and spider rigging they are fine. Too heavy and not sensitive enough for jigging.
