Broken 14' Wally Marshall WMT14-3 Tightline Speacial

[Jigboy]

I busted my third piece to this pole. Bass Pro has discontinued this series and it is not under warrenty. My guess is to toss it in the garbage but before I did I figured I would see if anyone had any great suggestions on getting the third piece. I know as soon as I toss it I will come across one somewhere. Just looked up the BnM 14' jigging pole and they have a replacement tip section for $13 but have no clue if these two poles match up. Anyone know if the do. I know I have half my collection of poles is BnM and the other half is Wally Marshall. I have never had an issue with BnM and now I see they have replacement parts. Guess which one I will be buying for now on.

I have both kind at home, so I will check and see if they are the same when I get home after work.

I think grizzly jig sells replacement tip sections for these, have to get the catalog and look though.

[Jigboy]

Yes they do sell replacment tips but thast is for the BnM rods. I need to know if the 14' BnM fits the wally marshall pole I mentioned. I know for now on I will be only buying the BnM because they do sell replacement tips.

the wally marshall rods are BnM blanks. i broke a twelve foot WM jig pole this spring and purchased BnM tip for it. The guys at the sporting goods store told me that all Wally Marshall rods are made from BnM blanks. Might want to call BnM before you throw it away.

BnM and the Wally Marshall poles are very good in my books. Don't buy the Bill Dance poles. He must not be paying attention to what they are putting his name on. They are a real piece of S**t. I am having the same problem finding the replacement tip that are a true fit. Never thought about calling BnM, thanks. The problem I have with the poles is I have a grandson that likes to step on the poles. I am going to make a fisherman out of him no matter how many poles he steps on.

Never had a WM break but I did break 2 B&M's break this past weekend.

I called BnM and they said therer tips might fit and replace the WM poles but they said the problem is that with them being made of two different tyes of material, I would just rebrake the pole. She suggested taking it over to BassPro and actually walk in with it to customer service and they would probably replace the pole for free. I guess the pr of having someone walk in with a pole with there name on it that is broken might get them to do it. I will try that because it is not like I am spider rigging or trolling right now anyway. Thanks for all the input.

I checked them yesterday and they are not the same size.
