I was in the Honey Hole tackle shop this weekend and looked at some nice looking rods made by Wohali. Does anyone have one of these rods? They are B/M blanks but have a custom style handle.

I Do have One -- I am not shure about it being a B&M Blank --- It does not have a IM-6 blank but it is a IM-7 ..... It is the very best of all the Crappie Poles I own. I think it has the most sensitive tip of all my poles and it catches big fish without worrying about the pole breaking. Buy one !!! You may decide like me you will be back for another one

Street is right but it's in West Monroe. I have an 11 foot Wohali and a 10 foot B&M. Don't really favor either. Both are great rods.
I bought an 11 foot Wohali from the Honey Hole last year. It is the first pole in my hand now. I still use a 10 foot B&M in the other. I think the B&M is more sensitive, but that may be because it is shorter. No problem swinging in the slabs with Wohai either, the pole has good backbone.
Just when I thought I bought my last rod you have to mention his one. I guess I have room for just one more. (Lol)
Thanks for the information.

I've paired it up with one of the Wally Marshall Solo reels and the great balance makes you feel like you're holding a feather in your hand. On Tuesday I added a 2 1/2 lb & 2 1/4 lb crappie to it's credit and topped the trip off with a 30-35 lb buffalo that took a 15 minute fight to whupp.....hate to admit it, but I now have 5 Steel Eagles !....they also just came out with a similar pole but is stiffer with more backbone, and is a bit heavier......Try a WOHALI, You'll love it !

Hey B&M B,
Are you lifting this fish (sacs) in the boat with the pole?:dono
I have a rubber webbing landing net with a collapsible 5 foot handle that I use to net any decent size fish. The rubber net prevents getting your jig hook or fas-snap from fouling your net. I feel that if you try to lift a slab of a pound or so with just your pole, you are just asking for trouble.
