What is your favorite brand of pole and why

[fishook]

I have always fished with the 10ft grizzly and loved it until i fished with the 11ft BnM ultralight with rear seat. BUUUUUUUT on both of the BnM rods the top eyelet guide insert just falls out. Reeled down to get snag and hit eyelet with jig head and now they just came off and wont stay. Is there any other poles out there that are comparible to the BnM's that have better quality guides

You could super glue it in!

You will have to be more specific. Favorite spider rig and crankbait poles are B&M PST's. For dipping in Missouri water, either Outlaw 11 footers or B&M Bucks Best Ultralite rear seat. Single polling Mississippi, I like the Outlaw's. Casting jigs, I'm partial to Pflueger President combo's. I also have some Diawa MH downrigger rods for pulling cranks with planer boards.

I'm also quickly becoming a fan of B&M Capps and Coleman trolling rods.

if you try the11ft crappie getter made by america rod smiths you will never use any thing else, its lite,great back bone and precision balanced, end seat cork handle and its 39.95 at grizzly jig.

11 foot B&M Sam Heaton Super Sensitives for me. Hands down, the best rods I have ever used.

They are great. I use the B'n'M 10 1/2 ft Russ Bailey signiture series. Just a tad bit heavier than the Sam Heaton but has a little more back bone. About 90% of the rods you buy new have the ceramic inserts in the eye on the rod tip. I had had trouble with lots of differant rods. Ozark use to have that problem and is why I switched to B'n'M. They have since redesigned them and no longer have a ceramic insert in the tip. I have had a new tip put on every rod I have bought the last couple years before I leave the store. They run about $2 at Everharts and should be around the same price elsewhere. It will save you lots of frustration on the water.
