I Do have One -- I am not shure about it being a B&M Blank --- It does not have a IM-6 blank but it is a IM-7 ..... It is the very best of all the Crappie Poles I own. I think it has the most sensitive tip of all my poles and it catches big fish without worrying about the pole breaking. Buy one !!! You may decide like me you will be back for another one

Street is right but it's in West Monroe. I have an 11 foot Wohali and a 10 foot B&M. Don't really favor either. Both are great rods.
I bought an 11 foot Wohali from the Honey Hole last year. It is the first pole in my hand now. I still use a 10 foot B&M in the other. I think the B&M is more sensitive, but that may be because it is shorter. No problem swinging in the slabs with Wohai either, the pole has good backbone.
Just when I thought I bought my last rod you have to mention his one. I guess I have room for just one more. (Lol)
Thanks for the information.

I've paired it up with one of the Wally Marshall Solo reels and the great balance makes you feel like you're holding a feather in your hand. On Tuesday I added a 2 1/2 lb & 2 1/4 lb crappie to it's credit and topped the trip off with a 30-35 lb buffalo that took a 15 minute fight to whupp.....hate to admit it, but I now have 5 Steel Eagles !....they also just came out with a similar pole but is stiffer with more backbone, and is a bit heavier......Try a WOHALI, You'll love it !

Hey B&M B,
Are you lifting this fish (sacs) in the boat with the pole?:dono
I have a rubber webbing landing net with a collapsible 5 foot handle that I use to net any decent size fish. The rubber net prevents getting your jig hook or fas-snap from fouling your net. I feel that if you try to lift a slab of a pound or so with just your pole, you are just asking for trouble.
My wife got me one from the honey hole for an early Christmas gift. I used it today for the first time and loved it so much I'll be buying one for my dad. Very sensitive and was pulling slabs out of 12 fow in heavy cover with ease today. It's my new go to jig rig.

Extremely sensitive and very lightweight. I own 4 of them. 3 10 footers and 1 11 footer. This is what the wohali is built off of. They used his pattern specifically. He still does them but not as much because of his arthritis. I think David does some also. He even numbers them and will put your name on it. I love mine and you can fish with them all day and won't feel tired at the end I te day. I'm an ozark rod dealer but if I'm single poling I have my custom "honey pole" in my hand. I use my ozarks for trolling because they have more backbone.
Bluethunder. I've got two of Mr Bobby's honey poles I've had now for probably ten yrs.
Now B&M makes a rear seat BBUL so I got three of those too. :)
Having said all that I don't feel the need to get a wohali now knowing they're BBUL blanks
Make no mistake. That wohali is a good rod but until I wear these out I'm not changing. I've never put a more sensitive rod in my hands.
