Granted we caught fish on both brands off poles but there was no comparison to the sensitivity and back Bone of the white poles. And I'm a diehard southern crappie fan. Still keep them in the boat but those white poles sold me on going ahead and spending the money on something that really works for you. Like Ress said, best thing is fish with someone who has what you are interested in to see if it really works for you. To me it's all personal preference and what works for you. A lot of people I consider really good fishermen tout the BGJP and undoubtedly they work great for them. I just don't and haven't ever liked them for a trolling pole, once again personal preference. There are so many choices out there today on good quality products it's hard to make a choice even when people get on here and promote one over the other.
Bgjp's don't have the backbone,I kept hitting the back of my fish finders with fish when swinging them inB and M Trolling RodsNot use to not much backbone yet,but using light weight 90% of the time is why I bought them.
