Think there may be some confusion here. I think what you are referring to is pole bend on the BGJP not bounce. What Rees is saying with the stiffer pole your going to have more bounce ( the stiff tip jerking the baits up and down in the water column ) the whole idea is to keep baits as still as possible thus the lighter tip letting the pole bend instead of bouncing the bait up and down.
