I'm not really an Ozark guy...

but I am starting to believe. I just haven't used the Ozark jig poles, I own, enough to really give any kind of review about them, even though they catch fish just fine. I have spooled up 2 Ozark casting rods in the last few weeks and if yard fishing has anything to do with the actual lake fishing, they are gonna be the bomb. I have put an Okuma spinning reel on one and a Daiwa on the other and they both cast further than any freshwater pole I've had in my hand. I even tried a little mock dock shooting and they seemed to work really well. We plan to give them a work out in the not too distant future.

Is anyone else using these rods?

Son in law has em and loves them...I'm a BnM guy myself but guess I'm a dinosaur since I still push with the West Point reels too

Love ozark but they are hard to find around here

Made a beliver out of me when you can swing a 2lber without breaking an 11' jig pole!

wouldn't buy a jig pole unless it was an ozark , used bnm for over 25 years but now im converted, cant beat em in my opinion

Ahhhh young grass hopper..... You are learning well you are. Ozark shall guide you to better days.

I use ozark trolling rods and absolutely love them. I single pole with custom altered bnm rods. I did single pile one day with my wife's pink 10 footer and fell in love. When I fish the big D with Conway we rod fish right over the side. They are super strong.

Yup here too using them. I still like my 16 ft pst rods though. My 14 ft trollers have here place too.

:Rofl I think I detect a crossover between a Ninja Master and Yoda:Rofl

Re spooling my 11ft Ozark with new line tomorrow and also working on plumbing for the "central air" in the boat. I may be sum dum, but I ain't plum dum:ThumbsUp

They suck. You don't want em, believe me. Send them with Carol to work Monday, and I will dispose of them for you.

Lemme think about it and I'll get back to you with an answer...NO!:biggrin

Just looking out for ya, buddy. Get you one with a rear seat, and put one of them itty bitty new B'n'M reels on it. Oh thats right, you don't single pole. Never mind.

Own 12 of them, and probably won't ever buy any other brand. Just don't see how you can get any better! You can hold a 10 foot jig pole out there all day and not be tired, they are so light, but strong too.

fought a 19lb blue on a 14 ft Ozark trolling rod while back, and it held up just fine, so id say they worth every penny I put into them!

I have had a Ozark rod for the last two years. And just five minutes ago, I was dragging it out of the case and noticed a sticker on the butt end of it. You ain't gonna believe what it said..."Made in China". Bummer!!!!

I saw and thought the same thing. I peeled those stickers off as soon as I saw them. I would pay an extra $20 per rod if they were made in the good old USA.

Love mine I have 13 total
8-14'
3-11'
1-10' Pink
1-7'

I guess actually I have 11 Casie has the pink and 7', but dont think for a second that I would not use either one of hers.
