B n M pro staff trollers. I think they are cheaper at monks crappie
Thanks, I thought they carried a generic rod for lack of words that was well liked. I'm familiar w B&M and Ozark but they are a little to rich for my blood.
Thanks Ray
He used to carry Silstar Limit rods, but they were only 12'ers. Dont know....may still carry them.
Southern Crappie rods are great rods for the money. If you just have to buy from grizzly look at the jimmy Houston pro series. They supposed to be a pretty good rod. They have 2 styles one has foam and one has cork for handles. Buddy of mine has fished them for about 4 years and swears by them. And this is a diehard crappie fisherman that fishes a lot. I talked to wade one time and he told me the rods were exactly the same except for handle material.
That depends on what kind of "trolling" you are talking about. Spider Rigging - Pushing - Pulling - Longline - ???Quote:

Spider Rigging & Longline trolling ... you may get away with a cheaper set of rods, but if your intent is Pushing & Pulling (jigs/cranks w/heavy weights) then you'd be better served with a higher end set of rods. In any case .. $40/rod is on the cheap end & $50-$60/rod is the average on the higher end. (not counting S/H)
Personally, I'd rather have 4 higher end rods (@$60/rod), than 6 cheaper ones (@$40/rod) ... if I was going to spend the same money on them (@$240/set). But, that's just me !!
Will be pushing and pulling. Don't have to buy from Grizzly but from reading I understand he carries some quality generic rods. was planning on going to a show this weekend and wanted something to compare to.
Thanks Ray
I think he's talking about the High Tech rods
Pinnacle Rods are often recommended.
14ft HT Graphite Panfish Special rods are $37 each before discount at Grizzly
Check there website. Grizzly Jig Company
The cheap rods that are usually reccomend are the Pinnacle Limits from Grizzly. I don't remember them coming in a 14. If you want cheap rods and can make the trip to Perry today or tomorrow, they will be many options at the fisharama. Some rods available for $1 a foot.
If you are pushing with heavy weights to keep the jig in place you need some rods with backbone and that is probably going to cost money. If you are trolling you can use the cheapest rods at the length you want. I don't push and I use cheap rods and I like them. I like my jigs to have a lot of action and movement. It works for me. If I was pushing or pulling crank baits all the time I would have a different strategy. Good luck fishing with the rods you buy.
