If your talking about the 6ft ones, I own two and use them dock shooting. They are tough with good sensitivity. I think it's a good quality product.
If you like the Okuma, why change?Quote:

All BnM rods are good
I have a 7' Sam Heaton Signature Series rod (precursor to the SH Super Sensitive). I don't believe there's any difference between them, though, except blank color. I found the SH rod to be a nice little rod, overall. It has a parabolic bend (bends like a C). I replaced it with a 6'6" ESP rod, which has a extra fast tip (bends like a J).Quote:

As has been said, all B n' M rods are great ULs. I have two of the 7' SHSS and I wouldn't trade them for anything.
Check out the St Croix "Panfish Series" rods. The UL in 6' or 6'9" is wonderful. It has the new micro guide system. A lot of tiny guides and a lot lighter.
For "dipping" I have better success with a regular fly rod set up. I use a 5 wt 9' rod. The benefit is the reel is on the end and has a much better balance?
I have a 10' Duck commander That my buddy Grizz gave me. I used once jigging and I think it feels good but I also am a BIG BnM fan
They always make a great donation to are crappie Shim Dig So I bought a sam heaton. Liked it and got 2 more. My brother liked them so he bought 3
When it came time to upgrade my spider rig set up I bought 6 of there BGP 14' rods.
I can't say anything about Okuma I have never used one but the BnM stuff is good stuff. Grizzly carries them and you can get new tips if needed pretty easy.
I have several Sam Heaton rods as well as brush cutters, custom rods and other B/M poles . Started out spider rigging with pro staff and Ozark . The question is not about quality of b/m rods . The gift certificate will cover a DC ultra-lite, but not a Sam Heaton 7 ' ultra-lite . was just wandering if the 6' dc would be a good choice . Would try a St. Croix if I had a certificate from pro bass/Cabella's.
I've got a DC 6'6" UL rod paired up with a BPS crappie max 750 reel, like the set up pretty good. If you just wave the rod around, it looks and feels like a wet noodle, but it's got enough backbone to set a hook real good on the occasional bass that likes to hide out under docks like crappie do.
Go ahead and get the Duck Commander rod coach,,,,If you don't like it you can give it to me:biggrin
I think you'd likely be paying a bit more than necessary, just for the DC branding. (that could be part of the "no reply after 70 views" answer)
What exactly is the rod going to be used for ... as in what method(s). You might get as good as or better rod for the same price range (or lower) ... especially if the rod is mainly going to be used for casting purposes.

actually....the Sam Heatons cost more and the DC is a better rod imo......and since you have a gift certificate that you won....nothing to lose....try it....I think you will like it.

can't get others to take a gift certificate from b/m .:donoQuote:

I have two of the duck commander 6 foot rods and one four footer, I am happy with them they are sensitive but very durable, the eyes seem to hold up well to.
