Thread: Crank Pullin Rod??

Most of the guys seem to like the B'n'M Pro Trollers. They talked me into getting them and I like them.

Thanks for asking this, I have asked so many questions in the last few days I was beginning feel bad.

We have a local wholesaler that does sell fishing tackle to the public, and I looked at all kinds of jigging poles, but he don't carry trolling poles or any that were stiff enough in my opinion to do what I wanted.

He even had the Shakespeare line counter reels but they were $50 bucks.

He's checking on the Okumas.

Anyone got a link for the rods yall use?

You can get the B'n'M Pro Trollers from.... B'n'm at http://www.bnmpoles.com/c-11-trolling-rods.aspx or you can also get them at Grizzly Jig HOME

You can get the Okuma line counter reels here for $24.99 Okuma Magda Pro Line Counter MA-15DX Northwoods Wholesale Outlet

BnM.com I use 14 12 10 and 8ft pro trollers for pulling cranks. The work really well. You need a pole that will take the shock of the hook set. Alot of poles are too stiff and pull the hooks out of the fish's mouth.

I have both the 12' and 14' Tightlines that I use for both Spider rigging and Pulling Cranks but I was wantin to get 2 10' poles to go with them. Any suggestions? Probably gonna order them tonight from Grizzly..

Slimey you may want to go futher from the boat rather than closer. I would go with a 16'er and I would stay with the Tightline Specials. They are alot stiffer than the Pro Trollers.

Wonder why the same rod is so much cheaper from Grizzly instead of straight from B&M? Dang it Torch, I had just convinced myself that I didn't need the 8' ones. Guess it will be 2-8's and 2-10's.

Because B'n'M wants their dealers to sell them. I live about 50 miles from B'n'M Corporate headquarters and I can by else where cheaper than I can there.
