ok I am just learning how to spider rig and I have some 12 med action and a couple med hvy action rods that are 12 footer also . I have only spider rigged a couple times but already notice that it seems like some light bites on the med heavy rods don't take the bait . I am not sure if they feel more resistance or not but wanted expert opinions on which rods are best .
i use the 14ft pro series ozark trolling rods . they have a lot of backbone and a soft tip for the light bitters !!! you would love them!!
meatgetter ... can you buy just tips for those rods if one breaks?
yes sir!!! they have a green tip about 18in long with helps you notice the ligther bits !!!!
I use the 16' pro series trolling rods from Ozark. Best poles I've ever used or sold, and I've tried em all!!!!!

SORRY for all the questions ..... I have been leary of the the 3 pc models in 14 and 16ft but i guess they hold up good since all you guys are using them. Do the longer poles help you get more bites ??
Yes, especially in shallow water. You don't spook them as bad.

DANG ,,, you boys going to cost me some money with all this advice ! LOL ...
Haven't tried the ozark rod but I can say I really like my b&mpro staff 16ft trolling rods. You can buy them from grizzly around $48 a rod and replacement tips too for $18 a tip.
jw ,if you try the ozark you would trade the ps i promise!!!!! then you would be so happy you would probably go back to using MINNERS were you could catch more fish on your new OZARK PRO SERIES TROLLING POLES !!!!!!!!!!!
Send me a demo before I buy 8 new rods lol. If I like it I will buy it. Don't know about the miners though lol.
I like minners.... especially in cold water.
Ozark 14 footer we also have 12s and 16s. It really depends on what you like.
