Have fished both for many years, and 16's do get heavy. We fish around 15 tourneys a year and almost always go with the 14's. Most of the pros do favor longer rods. Clear water in one place you would want longer rods.

Not a fan of the PST's. To heavy and I don't troll with more than an ounce of weight. If you troll with heavy weights, then you got the right ones. If you dont, you should've went with the BGJP's. Even the pros use BGJP's most of the time.
Fishing is like pizza.......Even when it's not that good, it's still pretty good!

I rig with jig poles also. The trolling rods are a little more stiff on the tip. I prefer the jig poles when the bite is soft. I use 12 and 14 foot poles. 16 foot poles are a lot to handle even transporting to and from the water. Just my opinion but everybody to his own.
