BPM 2 piece Rods?

Featured Replies

It's a cool rod but overall I'm not warm and fuzzy on it.  It's a ferrule joint rather than the handle insert kind of joint.  The rod is built like a MH but with a solid carbon tip inserted into the rod part way and then the blank was finished with the solid tip being rolled into the blank martial.  This gives it more of a st croix xf like tip that transitions into the blank rather than the almost afterthought like solid tips seen on other rods that make them fish weird. 

 

This jackall is more st croix xf taper with the sturdiness of a solid tip.  This solid tip does rob you of some power which is why I belive they call it a M+.  I got it to try out that type or XF taper for bottom contact and to do some power drop shotting.  It works well and that tip will tell you alot about what the bait is doing and allows you to crawl a bait millimeters with wrist movements as the tip loads and takes some of the rod movement away.

 

It is not super sensitive or floaty.  Its more floaty than the modern tatula rods and more like an old zodias. Mine was a 2020 $199 rod and I didn't feel like that was great balance and sensitivity for the money but I got it for the action and how that tip is built into the rod.  I have come to appreciate that action.  I'm using it as a shallow water drop shot rod as I explore that world along with the tokyo rig.  I still prefer a more normal f to mod fast taper on a MH or M+ for my bread and butter plastics dock skipping.  That XF is too weird for that.
