Thread: BnM vs. Jenko Trolling Rods

I have only ever used BnM rods so I can't comment on the Jenkos or other setups but I run the 14' BGJP's when spider rigging and love them for the soft tip and ability to see that light bite. You surely cannot swing a big fish quite like you can with the PST's but I'd rather see ALL of the bites and then worry about getting them in the boat versus seeing most of the bites and being able to swing every fish. That being said, I do swing most of my fish but the 2lb+ ones take a bite of effort/technique and I usually just grab a net for them. I have heard that the PST rear sections with the Capps and Coleman tip is a great mix of the two but I don't have the budget to play Dr. Frankenstein quite yet, haha. I do firmly believe that fish will hang on a bit longer with the BGJP, I'm guessing that they don't feel the resistance as quickly.
