Like title says i am looking for 2 8' trolling rods. Anyone got a good deal on some?
I would look into the Pinnacle limit rods. In my opinion just as good. About 20 a piece.
That's what I got and they work great for me no complaintsQuote:

I recovered the rod the first time it happened, then I put some pipe insulation on them so that they would float if it happened again and it has a couple of more times. So then I started putting the reel in between the front and back of the holders and then the spindles on the drag started getting broke off, so I just went ahead and bought some new BnM's. The BnM's handle is 21 inches long and leaves 3 or 4 inches of handle sticking out so a small bump doesn't knock them out. Just some info that you might consider.
I use the West Point B&M rods and have no problems. Best price for the money, IMO.
Been looking at the b'n'm ones. I have 2 12ft pro staffs already
If you have a problem with handle being to short, just find a piece of PVC pipe that fits snug on handle, cut it about 4 inches longer than the handle. Put some water prof glue on inside and slide on handle. Works great I had to do a couple of B&M 410's that way to use them in my SpiderLocks and keep reel out front. I have 2 8ft pinnacals and 4 12 ft er's good rods for the money.
