    Default Let's Talk About Poles


    Hello everyone, I posted a question on the main forum and didn't get but two replies so I thought I'd ask here. After Christmas I'm going to make an effort to learn this spider rigging and longline trolling, mostly long lining from the back of the boat since I have no depth finder up front. I'm wanting to start off with four poles that I can use for pushing and pulling and I'm thinking 12 footers would be easier to handle since I've never done it . Talked with the folks at B&M today and he recommended a 12' Bucks jig pole. I may put a couple of these on my Christmas list but I'm open to suggestions. Thanks for the help and if any of you are ever on the lower end of Ckarks Hill and run up on someone in a G3 boat that looks like he doesn't know what he's doing just ease on over and speak.

    that is a loaded question about poles !!! if moneys is no object then go for the best you can buy now if you want to save a little moneys and make sure you are going to like this type of technique of fish then IMO because I have fished with these poles you can't beat the 12 foot panfish special non graphite that you can get at Grizzly jig company and if you decide you like this technique upgrade to the graphite !!! here is the website !!! hope this helps !!!

    Hey Mark, I am set up with a set of 12's and 14' rods for spider rigging but for a rod you can do both with the 12 footers are the way to go. You may also want to check out the Southern Crappie Rods, they are very reasonable priced and for 20 a rod you can get the Pinnacle Limit 12'ers. Been using my Pinnacle rods for a long time and they are still going strong after a lot of fish caught with them. Grizzly Jigs use to carry them

    All of the above mentioned are great options. I agree that 12 foot is the best option for a multi purpose rod. For spider rigging I prefer 14s, but either work. I would strongly suggest southern crappie rods too. Ed Duke is a super nice guy and he'll help you anyway possible in your decision. His rods are top notch too!!

    I second these rods they are really good rods for the price!!! I run two 8 footers and two 10 footers but if I bought again I would get two 10 footers and two 12 footers. I run two different lengths to keep the lines from tangling when you turn.

    Little bit cheaper at Monk's Crappie in North Carolina.
