    If you don;t spoend it now, you're gonna end up spending it. I went the cheap route to start with getting 10 and n 12 foot rods. Seems I have 10's and 12's laying round the house now cause I bought 6, 14 footers after I realized I needed them. 12's will work but if you're in shallow water, you'll spook the fish. Go ahead and bite the bullet and get 14 footers. B & M makes the BJGP in 14 which are good poles, then the ozarks are real good poles as well. The Capps n Colemans are good poles but are real limber. Some like em and some don;t. I do know that all the poles I listed are good poles and very durable. I've had 6-8 lb cats on Eagle lake on all of them and no problems

    If you wait a little while, you'll catch somebody selling some good used poles at a good deal. I'm like DD ( that's a scary thought) buy good ones and get it over with. You won't have to spend the money twice that way. If DD has 12'ers layin around, he might give ya a deal on em tho!!!! ;-)

    Hate to here you had trouble and bet it was a defect in the rod itself, have caught a ton of fish on the Pinnacles with no probs. Everyone one of em make break this afternoon. If it was the first time out I would call Pinnacle or either Grizzly and see if there is something they will do about it.

    Pinnacles are good for the money, pst's work fine but I believe you miss some of the light bites, c and c's have great sensitivity but zero backbone and last but not least the Ozarks have a sensitive tip with plenty of backbone. Don't ask me how I know but if you buy them in sets of 12 about $2000 will let you find out
