I have fished BGJPs in the past and I'd be lying if I said they where bad rods, BUT, I swapped to the Jenko Slab Cities mainly because I like the light tip (pretty close to the same sensitivity of a bgjp) but the Jenkos have more backbone down the rod which I want. I am not very hard on my gear because I want it to perform perfectly when I ask it too, but I can say and again I'm not hating on the BGJPs at all but I broke usually somewhere between 1-3 tips a year with them and I have not broke a tip yet on any of my Jenkos...
