Since I am in the market for a new jig pole....any words of wisdom before I buy one??
Any graphite light weight two piece a must....I have old Uncle Buck rods that have held up good. I Like 10 or 11 foot married with a Spinning reel...so as to flip docks stumps and cast some with small bobber, in addition to vertically wacking them.
Check at Field and Stream, and ask to see the 11 ft.Ozark rod with set back reel. You'll probably walk out with two of them.Quote:

I use the tournament choice Rods at academy. Can't beat em for the money.
Mr crappie slab shaker 9 ft
Fetmo check pm's
I prefer a B&M. I have both Buck's Best and the Ultralight. I have 2 eleven's but I love my 10's.
I like the old B-n-M Buck's jig poles in 12' but the new models are second rate IMO
I use Bucks's BGJP and have not had any trouble out of them.
Harold the new ones have metal eyes without ceramic inserts and appear cheaper made. Ours are the old style.Quote:

ProAngler that is super sensitive. If you fish heavy
Cover this the pole to use to get'em out and swing them
To the boat.
go 2 grizzly and get ur self a wally marshall signature series black tuxecdo 10fter. i got mine saturday and havent had a chance 2 fish with it but it feels really good in ones hand. its lightweight and it has enough backbone 2 haul the big fish around 2
10 foot rear seated Ozark, is the lightest, most sensitive, toughest rod you can find a great rod for jigging around timber. The Ozark 11 footer is heaver but more tougher, still sensitive and has the back bone to wear em out of deep water or heavy brush. You should put your hands on these two rods before you bye Larry. The solid titanium tip is awsome. PM me if you need more info.
Oh ya I have probly turned on about 20 of my fishing buddy's with the Ozark rod over the last year and not one has been reported broken yet. And they all love the rods. Just Saying...
I agree the new B&M jig poles don't seem to be what the older ones are. I'm going to check into the 11' Ozark.
Just checked...pretty sure all, but one of my BnM jig poles are the older versions too. Haven't used the new one much.
