I would agree with the spyder lok holders and the southern crappie rods. I am hopefully going with wiskers next week to test the 14 footers. I am just getting started to and I have not herd one bad thing said about either the spyder loks or the southern crappie rods. I have been using 12 footers but may reconsider after using wiskers rods next week. You can pick up a used terrova on here pretty reasonable if you keep your eyes open in the classified section on here.
