so does the sam heaton ss with the rear seat and touch system. i know i love my sam heaton, probably will get one of these soon.
trying to figure out what to get for the spring
I bought one at grizzly dd and have still not used it. It feels really nice in hand though.
get the 12 foot bucks ultra light with rear seat reel and it has the touch system or the 12 foot ozark both are good rods but ifn your wading you may find out the 12 footer is a lot better than the 11 footer jmo
I got one and love it. a slight tap feels like a jolt of lightening going up your arm.Quote:

I've got both the Sam Heaton and the Ozark. I like em both. I've been using the ozark more tho. I don't use a jig pole that often, but the Ozark is a nice rod, and excellent sensitivity.

100% ozark !!!!!
I use B&M with the rear reel seat 11ft but my favorite is 1 I don't hear much about on here.I really like my Slaters crappie flyrod it's rear seat but has a thicker tip than B&M but very senseitive and will hold up and it's 10ft,I like the short'r rod when wadeing.I'm ruff on my stuff like sticking it down in the brush to get unhung I'v yet to break the tip off on the slater and have been useing it for several yrs will break a tip on a B&M at least a couple of times a spring.
I have a B & M bucks best ultralight rear seat now, Got the Cork handle. It worked real good that day Donnie. Arm just got tired after several hours. Think I fished from 7 to about 3. Wore slap dab out
Aint gonna matter much which pole you get DD, your arm is gonna get tired doing something different. That pole you have is not too heavy. I use a 12 when wading and a 16 when walking ditch banks.
DD, I never hardly jig fish, but at Wolf Lake I jig fished all day with the Ozark, and my arm didn't get sore. It's light, strong, and well balanced. I like the titanium tip, and the sensitivity it has.

ok thats what i fish sounds like you just gotta get used to single pole fishing all day thats all
You might be right Donnie. I've never single poled but a couple times. Soon as I got into crappie fishing a few years ago, I bought rod holders and spider rigged. I DO expect some lessons this spring though from tha master
then you might wanna find someone else no master here but cant wait till last week in feb we will get together thenQuote:
