Thread: 16' b&m capps&coleman vs pst

The bgjp are good for seeing a light bight but a net is required to lift a fish more than 1lb in the boat as they dont have the back bone.

I think C&C actually used the BGJP before they came out with their own poles.

Personally haven't had to net the fish with BGJP or C&C--and have caught many over a lb--just swing em in.
Plenty of "backbone" in em.

I'm a big fan of the 16' ozarks. That's all we fish with now. Started with the 14's and graduated up to 16's would go to 18's if they made them in the ozarks

Most of my poles are 16'ers, except I do use the 14's for pushing/pulling cranks and power trolling jigs. The 16's will push/pull also, but I've only used mine for pulling cranks and rigging.

Ordered the bgjp. Got six of em. Delivered to my cousins from grizzlyjig. He seems to like em alot. I won't get to hold one til Friday

Grizzly is first class. Before and after purchase.

The Ozark has more spine than the BGJP, about like the PST, but their tip is similar to the Capps or BGJP. The Ozarks are very user friendly for the novice or the more experienced angler. They are a great all around trolling pole and you can push or pull cranks with them also. I power troll jigs with my Ozarks too with a 2 or 3oz weight. Just My .02

Agree with BRM. I bought a pair of Ozarks last summer (14ft). Liked em so much I bought six more this fall. They should be something that you at least look at....

oops...to late. Well, enjoy your BGJPs. They are good poles.
