i dont know about those but i got 16 of the silstar rods that i spider rig and longline troll they are reaqlly good poles for the money check out his prices they are about a dollar a foot https://www.monkscrappie.com/store/store_product_detail.cfm?Product_ID=103&Category_ID=2

I'll check them out, wonder if you can get longer ones, Say around 13-14 foot?

 

[dedawg1149]

in the silstar you can only get the 12 footers the bnm slow trollers are cheap they come in lenghts up to 20 foot they are collapsable the 20 footers want fit in a rod holder though.what type of fishing are you needing them for longline,spiderrigging trolling,or just a jigging rod i will help you if i can

Spider rigging is what I'm trying to set up. I have four 13 foot Tele classic 2000 rods that I got used from a friend. Trying to come up with something on the same line.

the bnm slow trollers havee the reel seat and eye sets they can handle a 3/4 once weight without areal lot of bend.

Hi guys,
Totally clueless to crappie fishing.....real crappie fishing. Why such a long rod? Is it to reach further out and drop a bait? Cast further?

 

[dedawg1149]

the longer rods are for a longer spread when you spider rig you can cover a 30 to 40 foot span at a time .you need longer rods to not spook the fish when trolling the clearer the water the longer pool you need i find that a 12 foot rod is easier for me to handle .i will try and post a picture monday of my setup here is a link so you can see what i am talking about https://www.in-fisherman.com/magazine/articles/if0403_Crappie/

I can't spider rig on the waters I fish, 2 pole limit. Maybe when I move to Texas.

Boy did I have a blast the first time doing this yesterday, I only have four poles set up right now but will have four more and a second seat up front for a buddy or my wife who ever goes. It was all I could do to keep up with the four at times, a few times I just had to had off a pole to my buddy in the back to remove a fish from it due to having a fish on another pole at the same time.

It was a blast I debated trying this but am glad I did, I normally bass fish.
