Anybody use them? Sold my west point spider rig setup a while ago and looking to replace with something. Thinking about a rod that will double as a spider rig and a pulling setup. Any pros or cons?

u talking about southern crappie rods,bought some last week ,hope to get to try them out next weekend
BnM Pro Staff are the best all round poles for pulling and spider ring on the market!

Own a set of them in 14. Best rod's I have owned. Just right action and tough as nails.
Hey Cray it was good to meet you at the fruit jar. I've never fished the BnM pro staff. I've got the 14' Ozarks and really like them. If you haven't used the Ozarks we can do a little swap out and give a comparison the next time we meet up.
So you've tried em all and this is your review or this is what you sell and this in your review.Quote:

Hey, it was great to meet you also. Might just take you up on that. I have never fished the Ozarks. But them SouthernCrappie rods sure are nice to me. I really think the whole thing about what is best comes down to personal opinion mainly based on how you fish and what you like in a rod.Quote:

Use a bobber on a loose line and you don't worry about tip actions. ha
I've used Wally Marshalls, BnM Poles, Pinnacles, and Southern Crappie rods. IMO I prefer the Southern Crappie rods for an all purpose rod from pulling to spidderrigging. For jig poles I prefer BnM. For good pulling and rigging rods on a tight budget my vote goes to the pinnacle limit rods. The Wally Marshalls were not bad by any stretch, I just prefer the others....
Have used mine 5 or 6 trips and really like them.Been using 3/4 oz weights double minnow rigging and like how sensitive the tips are when u have a light bite.
I have 2 14' Southern crappie rods. They are great rods , I've pulled in 4 lb bass and a 5 lb walleye on them. I did just order 4 BnM PST 12' for pushing cranks with 3-4oz weights The Southerns are built for that , spider rigging or pulling they are good to go .
A couple trips now longlining with Southern Crappie Rods in the 14', 9' and 6'. This is the 4th brand I've used so far and is my favorite! Ed is a stand up guy and great customer service.
The Southerns aren't built for pushing heavy weights. Sorry I missed that before postingQuote:

I've hung 3.5 oz's off of them fishing deep and slow, and I've fished 1/32 roadrunners with them long lining, and they pull cranks just fine
I love'em ............just my thoughts
sorry I have not tried any others
If your gonna push cranks , spiderrig, longline an only want one set of poles i agree.But for a light bite i believe u wont find anything better rhan the southern crappie and with the sensative tips they would make an awsome longline rod.
