Does anybody notice a difference using actual trolling rods to try to pull cranks or jigs, etc.? Do you catch more fish with a Bandit 300 on a trolling rod or just any rod of the same length? Just wondering if I want to make the investment.

Same goes for spider rigging rods? I have a set of rods I use (from 18-14 feet) and they seem to do what I need them to do. Is there a benefit to buying special types of rods for the different applications, or do you feel that as long as you get the correct bait presented at the right speed you are still catching a lot of fish?

Thanks for the input.
