I Would Get A Medium / Heavy Tip On A B&m Pole. I Don't Have One But I Think They Call It A Brush Master??? I Like A Bottom Reel Seat As I Only Vertical Jig, With Stren Gold 8 Lb Test. Don't Know How Guys Can Use 2-4 Pound Test. I Would Break Off A 100 Times A Day. So If You Aren't In The Brush And Trees You Might As Well Stay Home.. Just My Opinion
My favorite is a B&M crappie custom jig pole with botom reel seat, I prefer an 11' .
DD, I have a new one from BNM called Bucks Best Ultra Lite, with bottom reel seat. This is the lightest rod I have ever held. Will be a great single pole weapon. Even with a reel on it , it hardly weighs anything.
With Nessa fishing more and more now, I need a couple more light weight jig poles cause those 12 foot trolling poles get HEAVY after the first hour or so. LOL
+1 for meQuote:

Only trouble is, it only comes in extra heavy action and you have to tape a reel to it.

I personally like the Ozark 11 footer bottom reel seat. I like the feel of the cork much better than the eva foam.
Oh and Least I got a purty boat. hehe
My B&M does have cork. The Ozarks are good as well, just seem a little heavy to me.Quote:

that he's bout 2 of the Bucks Best ultra lights and they both broke on him his first trip out. Heard anything like that from anyone else?
Yes, I'm discriminating against everything heavy. Jig poles as well as women. I married a skinny chick!;) What can I say I'm the worse kind of fattist...A fat fattist!Quote:

BBUL is a great pole, but i have had a couple break on me... Lightest pole i've seen. WM has a mighty lite that my brother uses and he really likes it. I guess thats WM answer to the BBUL.
BNM 10' called Bucks Best Ultra Lite, with bottom reel seat. I have abused this pole for a whole season and has performed very well. Light and balanced. I would buy another if needed today.
I told yall......Ozark!!!! ther the best that they can make em!!! And as light as the BBUL
I got both the 10' ozark and B&M UL. I like the Ozark but it is a little stiff for the 1/16 jig. If you are using 1/8 jigs all the time then in my opinion it may be a jump ball.
Ozark. And I'll smack anyone that says different.
Wannabe...
All I use is 1/16th and i dont have any problems.
My Ozark is lots lighter than the same length Wally Marshall.
10 foot wally with the yellow tip and a 10 foot B & M jig pole and they both weigh about the same. The B & M has more backbone to it though but I tell ya what, a 5 pound catfish is some kinda fun on that Wally. LOL
My biggest catch on the 10' Wally was a 30 pound paddlefish who got wrapped up in my line. It took almost an hour to get him to the surface with 6# test. Took another ten minutes to get him untangled! :)
Bucks best ultralight.

I have B&M poles and Ozark poles. I prefer the Outlaw's over all of them.
I like the BBUL in 10' but did have one break on the butt section, not the tip. I don't know if I would try to jerk a hoss out of the brush with it. Might need to go to a brush cutter or something like that for bigger fish that couldn't be netted handily. Around where I'm at there's not too many of those kind of fish.
But who sells them? I've looked everywhere, their website was a favorite tab on my computer, it is now some amazon type shopping site. I had one several years ago, it was a bad a** pole.Quote:

Grizzly has the "Tony Edgar" Ozarks for about $45.
I like the B'n'M Sam Heaton models.
