BPS crappie Max rods

Any body have or used the bass pro crappie max rods. I was thinking about getting a 8' one. Don't have a jigging rid. All my crappie fishing is done with light action 6'-6'6" rod .

Jeff, I have the old Walley Marshal signature in 8-9-10 ft. I have made the assumption they are the same rod just different name since they severed their relationship with Walley. They are really good rods. I use them for both Jigging and casting floats. Pretty tough and plenty of backbone. They are just a little heavier than some of the other rods I have but the strength out weigh's the difference in weight.

I looked at them the other day. Thought they had plenty of backbone but seemed alittle too heavy for my liking. But I never had a jigging pole so I wasn't sure. But for $40 it's worth a try. Might pick one up today

Good rods. I've got a 12' one. I like my BnM bbul a little better. But good rod for the $.

Great rods. Iv got 3 12'ers and a 5 foot spinning rod that has become my dock shooting rod and go to casting rod. Looking to get another short one.

I think you will like the B n' M Sam Heaton Super Sensitive models. I currently have two in 7' and one in 9'. Light weight, responsive and not whippy at all. About $10. more than what you're looking at now.

I'll throw this out just to muddy the waters...:biggrin
We use Todd Huckabee's 10 foot Meat Draga rods...they are a heavier action rod...nothing like an ultra lite. You couple that with braided line and you would be amazed at how sensitive that combination is. You can feel branches, rocks, light bites, etc.

Yes i have one and really like for casting jigs,Slip bobber fishing and jigging.i have the crappie max signature series.Great rod for jigging,The also make a light series in Crappie maxx too.I just picked up a Lews Mr Crappie 7 ft rod.Really impressed with that one also.

Good to read what I am seeing here. I just picked up a couple of 10's and a 12' at the BPS over the weekend. I had damaged a couple of an off brand I had before and these were 2014 models on clearance for good prices. :)

ive been trolling with 10 poles 14 ft crappie max tight line med. action for about 2 years. I love them. when you set the hook there is enough bend to set the hook but not to bend the pole real bad. you can get them cheaper from grizzly jig and they still have the bass pro shop decal on the pole.

I use the Signature Series Crappie Maxx 14fters. for spider rigging and i use them in different lengths for long lining. Great rods for sensitivity and backbone. Put one next to the PST's and they have the same bend it them using the same weight, just not as bulky or heavy as the PST's. And you can take them back and get a discount on a new one when they break as long as they're not older than 4yrs. LOVE THEM! With the spring fishing classic going on right now, trade in an old rod and get a discount on a new one.

Yea I can get one for $35 right now. Spider rigging is out for me. I can only fish 2 poles at a time in PA, DE and MD. these style rods are def new for me. Just can't decide what size to get. 8' 9' or 10'. I'm pretty sure they will be good for fishing a cork/jig too

I really like my 8 for that. Not o long and not to short for casting and use it a lot single poling in Buck brush. Take one or find a reel in the store that you would use. Put it on each one and check the balance to see which one might work the best.

I have four. Great poles. I fish a lot of heavy cover, and have beat them on cypress limbs for several years. They have held up great. Can lift a big perch in the boat with no problem.

I have 2 9' and just bought 2 11' last weekend when they were on sale for $30 each. I'm going to use em for pushing while the BGJP's are pulling. It'll look like a chinese fire drill when I get busy, but I can't wait.

I have a 9ft. It has good backbone and is pretty sensitive I use mine on docks for the places I can't shoot or get to by casting. But they are easy to break they are brittle.

Got the 8' mighty light today and paired it up with a Shimano Sahara 1000. Now just need to decide on a line. I'm been a huge fan of triple fish for years buy can only get it I'm 6 pound line and think they changed the name of it a a few years ago. Wanted to try something new. Almost bought a spool of P line floroclear. Prob going to pick that up next time I'm up at bass pro. No rush. The weather looks super cold here for the next week.

The 7ft rods are nice casting rods for spring spawn fishing and I have had good luck with the longer trolling rods.
