Looking at some BnM rods

I am just getting into crappie fishing, and most of my bass fishing rigs are not really suited. I am looking at some BnM rods to get started. I know the shooter 6 is popular as is the TCB. I have alreay grabbed a Sam Heaton Super Sensitive 7'. Going to drive through west point MS tomorrow, and thinking about stopping at BnM to pick up a couple rods. Is the Godwin cast worth looking at, or just stick with the shooter and TCB?

The Godwin cast is very pretty but I don’t like its feel at all and it’s on the heavy side for me almost bought two of them but glad I didn’t . The one I have has been setting in the garage after the first trip out with it. If at all possible put a rod in your hands to see how it feels to you before you purchase you will be money ahead for sure.:twocents

Thanks for the insight on that one. It was not on the top of my list, I will probably get the tcb and shooter. I’ve been wanting an excuse to get an ultra lite.

If you have the time get a feel for a bunch of different models. I like my TCBs and my Russ Bailey 10 footers. Sorry I’m late to respond.

I saw a good size package of rods on MSGO for $30. Jackson, MS area.

My wife bought me the TCB combo, rod and reel. Love it. Casts small jigs a mile, super light, and just feels good. Sunday fishing a 1/16oz jig and snagged. Swung front of boat around and snag started swimmin. After quite a spell I put a 15lb flathead in the boat. The rig handled it flawlessly. Thanks BnM.

that’s impressive! I picked up a TCB, Sam’s 7, and a shooter 6. Got a great deal on some Diawas for each. My son and I caught 8 crappie with them yesterday

Yeah those are awesome rods!

Walmart in West point sells b/m rods cheaper than any where .They usually have a huge selection being in b/m home town .

IMHO, I like the TCB. :highfive

If you go longer, like a 12-14 ft dipping rod, the BGJP is tough as nails. It takes a little getting used to cause it is super flexible, but it's tough as nails. I've pushed many a jig off snags with mine.
