Bottom Bouncer Rods

I like an 8' composite rod with a soft tip and lots of back bone. I couple this with a line counter reel and spool up with 15# Power Pro. Most times i run my BB directly off the boat and often times ill hold a rod in my hand and manipulate it to trigger strikes. I like the braid for the added feel and instant hook setting abilities, not to mention the thin lines leaves less blow back. In turn that leads to easier managing if im running a combination of BB off the corners and boards with inlines or snap weights. Makes it easier when you have a fish on. Allot of times i dont even pull the rods on the corners because theyre so verticle....I should add that i use big BB...Most times the 3 oz variety.

Myself I use the same rods I do for trolling. 7 1/2 foot telescoping rods designed by Parsons and Kavejecz for Bass Pro Shops. But I watched a Next Bite show today where they were using their new 12 footers and man those did seem excellent if a man was going to make a habbit of bottom bouncing. Really flexable almost buggy whip sensitive, with pleanty of give. Exactly what you want with light biters or what I call grabbers that swim up behind the harness and simply grab onto the harness and load the rod tip without much tug at all.
