[QUOTE="Rowdie, post: 214745, member: 272"] I've been trolling bb with baitcasters since I was 9, I'm 50 now. Dad was a baitcaster fan, so I grew up using them, And IMO trolling with them is the best way to go. I've only started fishing with high end quality rods in the last five years. One thing that's a MUST for me is for the rod to have a spot right behind the real where your trigger finger rests in the rod blank itself, no matter how high end of rod you choose. My two main bb rids right now are a G-Loomis that runs about $265 new that I picked up on eBay for $120. I'll check the numbers on it Ina bit. Last year I picked up a St Croix and both are the best bb rods I've ever used. The GLoomis is better though, but I haven't used the Croix enough yet. If I were to get another one I'd pick up a REAL GLoomis from Gary's new company Temple Fork. I just picked up the new jigging rod from them, and side by side with the coveted NRX GLoomis, I didn't see much difference, except I like the handle on the TF better. This wasn't on a boat just handling them inside. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] The St Croix is a Premier 6'6" Med power fast action. Got it for $65 on EBay used. The Premier series is the cheaper St Croix has. The Loomis is a CBR 845 7' Med Heavy mod-fast action. I got it used also, both were scuffed a bit here and there and the Loomis has an eyelet messed up a bit. But both have excellent sensitivity, and backbone. I will never forget fishing with my old buddy Ron. He was from the Black Hills and pulled bb around Deerfield lake.
