BnM 14’ rods

Is there any noticeable differences in the BnM trolling rods and other BnM 14’ rods?

Yes ... 14' rods other than PST's or Power Trollers are not as stiff. And the Power Troller would be stiffer than a PST. My 14' Capps/Coleman rods are not as stiff as my 14' PST. I'm not sure about the BGJP's and where in the lineup they fall, because I only have a 12' BGJP rod, but I'd think it would be less stiff than my C/C rods. I'd also think the 14' Diamond Series would be less stiff than a BGJP.
Look at the weight range & line size range of each model for more telling info.

Thanks for the reply
Wouldn't a stiffer rod be preferred for a 14’ rod to land fish faster?
I have 5 14’ PST rods and just trying to utilize them for live scope is why I’m asking.

If you're Pushing jigs I'd go with a C/C 14' rod - If you're Pushing cranks I'd say the PST rods are preferable - if you're Livescope sniping I'd say a 14' Diamond Series rod would be lighter in the hand than either of the other two. (I use a 12' Diamond Series rod for LS sniping/flippin double jig rigs) Even if not flippin' jigs, but vertical jigging, a lighter weight rod won't wear you down as fast as the heavier/stiffer rods.

Thats the information I was looking for.
Thanks again
