I've had a Sam Heaton for about 5 years, and I really like t for jigging. I put a Pflueger auto fly reel on it. It balances really well with that. I won a BnM jigging pole at the D'Arbonne get together. I like it too, but haven't jigged with it much. Spider rigging with it, I like that the first 6-8" of the tip is soft, and shows a soft bite better than any rod I've got. Others are BPS Wally Marshall rods. The newer ones are good, 2 out of 3 of the Crappie Lite rods broke. BPS did give me credit towards the newer WM rods.
