J B Salter is all I use.....excellent backbone, balanced and light.....you can only get it at his shop in Irwinville, La or order it from him.....not cheap but worth it to me.......$85.......

Try BnM Sam Heaton Super Sensitive...now available with butt reel seat
If A Saulters pole should wind up in the water, it does Float, The reel is on the pole ,is not expensive but have lasted on my brothers poles for 30 yrs. My Brothers complaint is the first guide is too close to the reel. I believe as a custom pole one of the small stainless guides could be removed to give more space, when fishing deep.
I have been very pleased with JB salter's jig poles. I have a new one and an older one too. They are very nice poles
Where can a person find a salter pole?
I have heard the sam heaton pole was good. Prolly gonna be my next pole.
Don't the Sam heatons have the bottom mount reels? BTW, I've never used one of those. Are they nice?
i believe mr. salter has a store in irwinville and u can order them onlineQuote:

One thing with Mr. Salter if he is there your not just going to walk in pay for your pole and leave, you better have a couple of hours to to spend there, but it will be the best couple hours you have spent talking to someone in your life.Quote:

Your right on time well spent. The man has got the passion.:cheers2
I told him one time I didn't need his, I could catch sacs with a broom stick. I thought he was going to have a stroke.:biggrin
that $85 is for the newer graphite poles......his fiberglass poles are cheaper($???)....and a lot heavier.....Quote:
