Never used their trolling rods but I have one of their jig poles and I’m perfectly happy with it. Light,sensitive and plenty of back bone. I also second the southern crappie rods. I have a set of 12’s I use for long lining and 14’s for spider rigging. By far most indistructable rod I have ever used and Ed Dukes who owns and sells them is a fine man to do business with. At that price point for the DC’s that would be hard to beat. Just a little word of caution, on any jointed pole make sure each joint is always fully seated because that can cause breakage in that area.
