BnM Little Mighty

Just wondering if anyone has tried this new but old style of fishing.
I am thinking about pulling the trigger on the 25 footer.
I don’t like casting… ruined from years of bass fishing…. And have noticed how spooky fish get when I get within 15 ft or closer. Water not muddy around here like southern states. Stained is about as bad as it gets.
Theory is to stay back off of them as far as possible and drop bait on their nose.
If I get the Little Mighty I will probably alter the tip with a BGJP tip. The Little Mighty is awful flimsy.
Any thought appreciated.
Thanks
Chuck

I haven’t had the chance to get it wet yet ...

I think it will be just another tool ... especially when the fish seem spooky ...

Definitely way too flimsy for any other method than single polin ...

Imagine one that is 25 feet long and only weighs 3.5 ounces. Of course they start at around 450 bucks....LOL...if not more.

I will post that in a separate post to not take away from Chuck’s OP ...

I only posted to Chuck’s thread that there are other cheaper options of the same type rod ...

Yeah I was looking at those also.
BNM doesn’t list the weight on the Little Mighty or any of their rods that I’ve ever seen.
I have a ton of BnM rods and like the trollers but most of the jig poles are too flimsy for my style of fishing.
After much trial and error I prefer a medium action with a fast tip.

Check out their Richard Williams models. Way better than their bgjp models.

Interesting style of fishing. I have a friend in my RC club that bought a low end Tenkara style and really has a lot of fun with it. He straps it to his electric bike and motors over to a nearby pond. He loads up and is out the door in about 5 minutes. A very relaxed style.

I have a hard enough time with a 14 footer! I am interested in seeing the reviews after use as well.

This would be a long write up so I’ll post it in a separate thread so the Search queries can find it ... and then link that thread here ...

I don't have that exact one but have several from 10' to 13'. Fun way to fish when you can get on shallow fish. Pulled many crappie and gills over the side with this method.

Here is a link to a write up of my podunkideas modification of a telescoping rod ...

https://www.crappie.com/crappie/main...lescoping-rod/

I posted the podunkideas modification write up separately to allow Chuck’s OP of “opinions of the Little Mighty rod” to be separate of my podunkideas modification idea of a similar telescoping rod ...

Oh well guys…..I just ordered the 25 ft Little Mighty from Grizzly Jig.
I know there are cheaper and more expensive ones out there but I have always had pretty good luck with their products.
You get what you pay for or I hope so.
Thanks for all the input.

Little Mighty came today.
Grizzly Jig has fast shipping.
I got the 25 footer.
Played with to a bit in the back yard with about 12 foot of line and 1/4 oz weight.
Basically to extend and retract the rod. We will see how I do on the water.
It did weigh a little more than I thought is was going to.
.85 oz. = 385.554 grams
No too bad with two sections left in handle
I think I will get used to it and should be a blast to fish when fish are spooky.
Spot lock and drop it on their nose at 20+ feet away.

Should have read .85 lb. Lol
.85oz would be nice though.

Only thing I don’t care for is the Lillian line you attach the main line to.
That section of the rod is so very thin. Guess I’m just gonna have to catch a fish with it to see if the rod breaks.
I tried to replace that section with a 10ft telescoping pole I had laying around but it’s too long.
I’ll figure something out or throw it in the lake. Lol
I’m thinking I will tie an 8 foot section of line, braid or floro on the rod and attach a small swivel to the end. Transport it to the lake and then add whatever additional line depending on depth I’m fishing to the swivel.
That way I will always have an exact length to start with and be more manageable on the water.
