11' Ozark is best for the money . I quit using Buck's because I broke too many .
I have 2 of the 11 ft Ozarks...great poles. Sensitive and back bone to swing them in the boat..
which one Nimrod? they make several kinds. I only single pole jig :biggrinQuote:

I have a Lew's Wally Marshall Pro Series 12' I really like. Really sensitive tip but a whole lot of back bone, nice and light with a nice cork handle. Think it ran me around $60

A toss up between ozark 11' or Slaters 11', both are light and sensitive, but I would probably buy another Slaters if I was buying today since I have 1 ozark and 4 Slaters. Only time I ever broke a Slaters was when my dad was jabbing a jig to get it loose from a stump and broke the first 2" of the tip.

Mine are marked Tony Edgar ss1102c 2 pc 11' IM7 signature series Think they may have changed some . I took an old timer fishing yesterday and I was slammin em in da boat ! :biggrin He tried and broke his B-n-M Bucks jig pole 12' . I loaned him a Ozark and told him I have an extra front half at the house for his Bucks but said no way he wanted what I use . :RoflQuote:

Just to offer another option, Southern Crappie rods are the choice of the single pole jig fishermen here. Ed is the owner and great to deal with.

I don't fish wimpy rods cause I leave the dip net home and put em in the boat .:biggrin
I catch more bluegill than crappie so wimpy be good for me
Yea the dilemma for me is i prefer the bgjp but have had a half dozen front half replacements and several other rods that differentiate in length from being re-tipped. The ozarks are just too wippy for me but im ready to try something diff so may cave and try it.
I use the Grizzly Elite from Grizzly Jig. They come in 10', 11' or 12'. I fish lots of cypress and lots of pads during the summer. Great sensitive rod with enough muscle to swing fish in the boat and I am constantly jabbing the tip into the jig to get it unhung from cypress roots or pad stems. I did break a tip once about 7 years ago but no rod will take the lid of the Rod box being slammed on it. Last one I bought was $49.95 for the 12 foot if I remember correctly.

Ozark rods are great! If you want something stiffer, try a Todd Huckabee rod.
If wanted anything stiffer I'd go to a 12' Ozark but that thing almost like fishing a broom handle . I checked on Huckabee Rods and looked awful pricey.Quote:

No worry with 11' forward seat Ozark , in last 5 years i have lifted thousands , with some 16'' slabs .Quote:
