You can get 4 12' Pinnacle limit rods from grizzly jig for $66
Also have some cheap spinning reels. But they are made cheap. Works fine for trolling though
Sent you a PM.
Ive been towards those pinnacles for a while now. I wonder how they will hold up for pulling cranks? thought about getting 2 -12's and 2 10'Quote:

Im planning on getting a set of em soon. I would love to buy pst or southern crappie rods but im a man on a low budget lol
I've got 4 of the pinnacles that I let buddys use. I bought them originally to troll. They don't have enough backbone.A 1/4 ounce weight will set the rod tip down pretty good. Hook sets are tough to get and when you try to lift a fish the tip will durn near touch the reel. Those 8 dollar hi tech reels have worked great for me and I have four of the hi tech panfish special pros. They are awesome for single poling, but I use them trolling with no problems. Rods run about 40 bucks each. I bought one for single poling. Then I bought another for strolling. Then I bought 2 more for spidering. I don't regret buying the pinnacles they have saved my other rods.
Used the pinnacles for a long time with no problems, trolled , pulled cranks, long lined they did it all ,and for the price....if you do break on you dont cry as long.
I have used them with 1oz. weight no problem. I still use 2 10ft. for pulling cranks. I just wish they made them 14ft.
If they made 14s I doubt I would have looked any further. Use 3 Oz weights pushing ranks with em too, loads the rod but no issues for me.Quote:

have any of yall used braided line for trolling double minnow rigs? I will have brain on my crankbait rods but in case i wanna take crankbait off and run that combo up front pushing minnows would the braid hurt anything?
Yes, I run it all the time. Can be a pain at times with tip wrap but worth it to me. Smaller diameter less drag in water.Quote:
