I spider rig almost all of the time but am going to spring camp at Grenada. I haven't bought a jig pole in a long long time other than trolling rods. Any suggestions ?

I have several of the old Wally Marshal signature series from BPS that are good rods. But I like my Sam Heaton super sensitive the best for light weight and sensitivity. And I have converted all mine to rear seat. Like the balance better.
I used the Wally Marshall Sig Series for years but over the last three seasons I have been using BnM Ultra Lite in 12 and 11 ft. The reel seat is at the rear and the pole don't fatigue you on a long day fishing tough cover. I still have a Wally Marshall around for a back up. Just my 2 cents.
I was using a BnM Sam Heaton but I switched a couple years ago to a 11 ft. BnM Duck Commander double touch rear seat.
I like a 11 ft bnm ultralite with the standard reel seat,really nice rod.
Sam heaton 11 ft.
I USE THE SAM HEATON 12 FT. THE B/M CUSTOM IS LIKELY THE BEST ROD FOR THE MONEY . CORK HANDLE REAR SEAT . THE HEATON IS GOOD BUT ABOUT 25.OO MORE .
Ozark rear seat. Gotem at lakeway, ouch!
HT panfish special pros. Underated rods. Never broke one. Really sensitive. My buddies fish bnm and ozark. They own atleast a couple hts now. Good prices too.
OZARKS 12'
I mostly troll but when I single pole, I prefer the
Buck, you have any trouble knocking the ceramic tip out of the guide?Quote:

No I haven't had that problem yet, the only issue I've had is breaking the rod about 6" above where the 2 sections join together. I've had that happen twice but it was several years apart.Quote:

11 ft. Ozark rear seat is what i have been using. Very light good balance with reel mounted to the rear,pretty sensitive, yellow tip, haven't lost that last guide yet trying to get unhung. As far as light bites, these Big 4 crappie usually hit it like a bass in shallow water.If I'm fishing deep I'm usually spidering. My :twocents
10 ft ozark rear seat
I have several of the 12' double touch Duck Commanders that we use and I like them the best of any we have used!
Anything 12ft with a rear seat. We jig in a 14ft John boat. Front person swings his fish to the rear. Back person swings to the front.
