Looking for 14-16' rods and I seem to remember someone mentioned a brand from South Carolina. Is that right? I am looking for a few new rods to troll with. All help appreciated.

Ed has a new trolling rod, SCR143T. Looks like it will be a big seller and tough as nails. His customer service is 2nd to none. I've been using Southerns for several years and couldn't be happier.
check out Proanglertackle.com
How do these Southern rods compare to a B&M BGJP in weight and backbone. Apples to apples, 14'vs14'.
The only B&M trolling rods I have now is a pair of 16' Capps and Colemans so I can't make that comparison. I know the Southern are built with Kevlar and are rock solid. I've longlined and trolled cranks for years with mine and have broken one tip section when it got stepped on. I've replaced 2 tips on my C&Cs, both broken on large rough fish.
Thanks MRD, I'm looking at the homepage now. Prices are cheaper than B&M poles.
They might be just a littles less sensitive than the BGJP but not much. Really sensitive and plenty of back bone. Not much difference in weight either.
More backbone than a BGJP and tip is comparable, they are tuff, no way I would pull on a BnM pole the way I did today on the Southerns when I was hung up 25 foot deep!!!!:banghead
Y'all have me sold on em!Quote:
