16' BnM BGJP. Anyone pull cranks with these?

I've pulled with the 12' but wanted to know if the 16 will work without too much bend.

I don't like em for cranks, don't like psts either, tips are easy to break. Wanna try the Southern Crappie Rods, hearing good things about them. I do use BGJP for longlining

I haven't had any problems out of my PST's (16').....and have had them hung before. All my crank poles are PST's have haven't had to replace a tip yet....knock on wood:twocents

Pst is all I troll with. I broke 4 rod tips when I started using them 3 seasons ago haven't broke another yet. Went threw a bad batch. Pull in some heavy cats in with them while cranking. Love the action detects bites very well.

use them, have never broken anything. On my 4th year on this set.

Have the 18' pst and I like it. Never tried to bgjp, but would buy another 18' if this one ever broke. Holds up well, line breaks before rod does

I've pulled with the BGJP 12'ers, but after awhile, the broke about 6-8" up from the joint. I was told by BnM not to pull cranks with them. They did however replace two of the tip sections for me on the ones I broke.

Par for their course---Great Customer Service!!!!!!!!!

Same here.

I have had good luck with all my PST's also ( all 10 of them) and I have had them hung up rod bent under the boat....big catfish and even a huge carp and they are still hanging in there no problems.

Same here. PSTs but the wife broke 2 tips when we moved LOL
