I just got my order in from fishing tackle liquidators and ready to see how they are going to work. I wanted to find something smaller but for $5.99/each i couldn't pass it up. Now I have to scouring thepersonal classifieds page for a deal on rods. Rees Guide got a pretty good deal on there the other day from what I can tell

you better make them 14 ft cause thats what you will end up buying trust me
You can get the Pinnacle Limit rods up to 12 ft from Grizzly Jig 4 for $60, which is not a bad price. They don't have a 14 ft in that model, but I am not coordinated enough to handle anything longer than 12 ft and 10 is even better.
Iffin you can get by with 12 footers, Pinnacles are hard to beat.
At Okatibbee I use the 12' Firecast poles from Jerome Tanks in Philadelphia. They are $23 each. I've broken 3 PSTs swinging in fish. I've never broken a Firecast. To me it's a lot easier landing a fish with a 12' instead of a 14'.
Thats what landing nets are for Scott. Not supposed to SWING at your age!!!!

Our Okatibee fish are not usually like the Big 4 fish.....lol. I have set the hook on a tibby fish and hit the man in the back of the boat with that fish. They are getting bigger though!

12' is long enough. I bought 5 pst's last year and broke 4 tips replaced tips ain't had a problem since. Was very disgusted at first with them till I got new tips. Those pinnacles are your best bet on price but quality ? Pst's are great! Everything they advertise is true. I troll with 3oz weights. And yank in doubles. Double whites and largemouth and crappie. Well worth the price and ain't bad compared to other rods with that quality. If I wanted to move up in price it would be the old Wally marshal signature series they got backbone like none other. Now I troll fast so I don't have to worry about watching for hits. When they hit you know it. So if you use light weights and slow troll pinnacle sounds your best economical choice. Pst hands down.
