Favorite pole, ouch!

[bwframe]

I've broke a fair amount of fishing poles over the years. I always learned from it. The car door had never got me...

...until today. Arggg.

I hate when that happens.

Looks like it may be time for a two piece rod for special occasions.

It wasn't a terribly expensive rod at $60ish.
Google turns up a result or two, maybe still in stock? B&M doesn't list them on their site nor do they have replacement sections for this rod.

It's a bit more of a sentimental/dumbass thing. Anyone whoever, who dropped a jig or threw float rig with a B&M pole or rod, likely understands. This specific rod has been my favorite, thus putting well over 100 pounds (maybe closer to 200?) of pan fish fillets in the freezer.

I guess it's likely karma messin' with me. I've always favored long rods, the B&M was 8'.
The last few years I've come to favor a Binn Bros 5' rod w/extremely short butt section. The short rod is a hoot for mobility and fun to load up on the cast. It would be way less friendly on the odd larger bass or catfish landing though.

oh, that does suck!

I'll be in b-town tonight picking up a couple of new rods/reels for bass fishin.

Any combos you recommend for crappie?

McDonalds combo #4 with coffee always worked for me.

Any 'ol stick and string will work.

I like wide faced spinning reels. I currently use a couple JM signature series by Bass Pro. Sheds on 446 use to carry B&M poles. I haven't been there in years.

I have never spent a whole lot on my poles, but I would still be disappointed if this happened to one of mine.

I love when you shut the trunk and they always seem to pop out just as the trunk is shut and wham!
