Not wanting Santa to spend a arm and leg either (cuz she wont) I have some rods that are 10 and 12 footers but they are not stiff enough for crankbait pulling or I didnt like the way they worked for me this summer. any and help greatly appreciated

any of you guys know anything bout these rods ? found them at Northwoods where I bought the Okuma reels.pretty decent price but I looked at the B&M you guys talked about at Monks and Grizzly and I like them also. I posted the link to the 8 footers but they have the 10 footers also for same price.

Check Cabela's after Christmas. They usually have some good deals on bass rods. Have seen some $70& 80 dollar rods go for $20 bucks. You can't go wrong with BnM's. Do you have a flea market in your area? I have bought some good poles for $5 at flea markets and carport sales.
I like my B'n'M Pro Trollers
Me too, I do like my Pro Trollers......I have 6 of the 12 footers and just ordered 2 more 16 footers......Quote:

Figure your rod lengths so you will have 4 ft. of separation for pulling cranks.
Do you need that much or can you get by with 2 feet?Quote:

Its better with 4 ft. makes it a lot easier to make gradual turns, plus it makes it easier when you are reeling in a fish.
I just ordered 2 of the 8 ft trolling rods. They look pretty good, especially for $20 each. Here's the link from Okuma about the rods.

I wonder how Northwoods can sell Okuma products so cheap?
With only 2' of separation, you can look forward to many tangles.
They probably buy them in very large volumes and get a price break that way.....buying power, lolQuote:
