Does any other place sell salters around br? I need a 12-14 ft rod and was wondering should I get a salter slater bm crappie ect.... ect... don't know if I'll be making it to Eriwnville any time soon this may be like asking favorite colors but help me out.
I fish a b&m 11' and 12' and love them. I also have the 11' cheap ones from academy and they are a little heavy compared to the b&m.
Go pick up a few different rods and which ever one you think you can hold all day long is the one I would get.
Order from Grizzly Jigs. Online, quick(usually 3 days tops) and great people to deal with. Ask for Lance if you call.Grizzly Jig Company I use the Jimmy Houston and the BnM's. JH are lighter.
I suggest the b&m sam heaton super sensitive. I used mostly the 11 foot. And the 10 sometimes. Also have a couple 12 foot ones that have there place but the 11 is the best all around. From time to time I break out the 5 9 foot Mitchell fly rods. Used them for years going back to early 80's growing up for about 25 years. Long before you could purchase the variety of great poles they have now a fly rod was the best option to rig for jigging. Funny how things change. Back then people looked at us strange using jigging poles but now majority of folks do

Salter only makes a 10 ft. pole......I have been looking at other mfrs lately and there are some nice poles out there.....I like the BnM and the Berkley....go to Academy and shake a few till U find one U like.....
Forget our academy in Houma. They discontinue anything nice used to carry the b&m sam heaton but not for a few years
In fact I like only cork handle poles and don't think they have a one period. Not that it matters as I order from bass pro or direct. But I have7-8 of them so I probably don't need any more( for now anyway)
I've got B&Ms as well.
Front to Back Boat Service behind Cortana Mall and Superior Tackle on Siegan Lane sell em. Make sure you get the graphite pole. I'd call em first.Quote:

B n M ! Sam Heaton ultra lite or Buck's Ultra lite. Yea, Mr. Salters only makes one model, 10 foot. visited with him yesterday and picked up 2.
Buck's Best UltaLite BBUL12
I have only been able to get the graphite poles at Salters store in Erwinville.....the ones in the other 2 places are Fiberglass.....at least, that was the case in the recent past.....you can tell the difference, the fiberglass ones are fatter.....Quote:
