Sam Heaton IS a specific model by BnM.

Well, I've got some brand new Pro Staff Trollers andt hose will handle anything you throw at them. They are sensitive, but not as sensitive as Ozarks or Sam Heatons of course. They are sticks and will handle any fish with ease though.

Fished with Feelay's Capps and Colemans this weekend. Dang they were light action. Still had some heft to work the fish though but a really, really fast tip. Any waves and they move ALOT. That's part of their design though. Had more than one fish man handle me and go where they wanted because I'm not used to them. Also set the hook fairly frequently on a non-existant fish. Feelay didn't have that issue because he was used to 'em. One other trick that I never would have figured out is that I'm used to setting the hook quickly and coming off the pressure to avoid jerking the rig out of the water. Well with the C&C, ya gotta break that habit, because it will produce a bounce that gives the fish just enough slack to come off. Frustrating.

I'm not sure if I'd go with the C&Cs after this trip, but I do see the advantage of the fast top section in rough water. Then again, I miss the softer action of my Ozarks and Sam Heatons too compared to the Pro Trollers. When you get a big fish on like you're prone to at Grenada, I like those Pro Trollers, but if you're trying to fill a cooler of 12 inchers, the C&Cs are probably a better choice.

Best of both worlds, would be to have a full compliment of Pro Trollers and C&Cs and swap out according to the lake and how rough the water is.
