B'n'M Black Widow® Crappie Rod
Extendable length gets you deep into the brush where lunker crappie hide!
The Black Widow is a telescoping rod that extends up to 10' to 20' depending on model. Its 100% fiberglass construction and fiberglass-reinforced joints provide extra durability and increased sensitivity—an excellent rod for jigging live bait.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by mad63 Great crappie pole
Great quality pole with lots of action. Makes catching crappie exciting and fun. A little heavy in the sixteen foot version when you first pick it up but gets better the more you use it.

I actually ordered 2 of these rods to support wires, along their length, to make a homebrew rotatable dipole antenna for use with my ham radio. I needed something strong, lightweight, and easily made compact. I DO fish as well, and I may use them for that too, but one may be advised, there are no eyes for line and there isn't a groove to mount a reel. There is a loop at the end of the rod to tie line and toward the handle there is a location to wrap your line when not fishing. Basically, it's like a really long, lightweight cane pole that you can collapse. They will defintely get to those hard to reach crappie holes. I can hold the rod, fully extended, with one hand at the base. It is definetely lightweight. I have used the rods, as I originally intended, in some fairly strong wind gusts and they would bow fairly far so they're strong as well. Each rod collapses down to about 4 to 5 feet, so they're compact. I would definetely recommend them for what I use them for and would also recommend them if you are looking to get into some hard to reach crappie spots that a cane pole like fishing technique will work.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by DarrenM Lots of fun
Bought this in the 20' length recently. Pole is a lot of fun to use for any fish that'll take the bait.
Usually bottom fish with it. I rig the line length equal to pole length, use either a slip float or special float for bottom fishing, then a weight with a snelled #8, 6 or 4 Gamakatsu circle hook.
Small fish feel like monsters. Also have other models in 10', 12', and 13' lengths.
Doesn't get much simpler than this.

Bought this pole for them lazy summer days when I didn't want to be casting all the time. I just walk along the bank letting the jig swim along and jig it in fishy looking spots. Brings back memories of years gone by.
For a fiberglass pole it is suprisenly sensitive and will handle good size fish. Smaller folks might want to consider the shorter lengths as the 20 ft. does get a little heavy after awhile.
All in all a good entry level pole.

For example, if I purchase the 20' pole can I telescope it out only partially and fish it like a 10' pole?Answers
A:Â
No.A:Â
YES AND NO. YOU MUST EXTEND IT TO INSURE IT DOES NOT BREAK :HOWEVER YOU CAN HOLD IT FARTHER UP THE HANDLE. IT MAKES IT A BIT UNBALANCED. THEY ARE CHEAP ENOUGH JUST BUY ONE OF THE OTHER LENGTHSDetails:Â

I know I have to buy clip on guides but I've seen someone with this setup and I couldn't figure out how they attached the reel.Answers
A:Â
I don't use a reel or put on guides. This pole is for getting over brush and not for casting. On the bottom portion of the pole there are hooks to wrap your line around.A:Â
I have one and attached a small spinning real by taping it with electrical tape. Been over 10 yrs with no issues.Details:Â
I am a small woman. What length would you recomend. I love to fish. Would the Black window or Uncle Bucks, be best? It needs to be light weight.Thanks

The 10 footer would be very easy to handle. The 13 footer would probably work if there's not a lot of trees along the bani.A:Â
THIS THING IS AWESOME!!!I have 2 - 20 footers...
A:Â
The 20 footer might be heavy, but 12 foot is always GREAT. Good Fishing.A:Â
i have the uncle buck in 13 and it is very light. i would reccommend it.A:Â
Uncle Buck makes some very good and lightweight telescoping poles that would be perfect for pond fishing. 10' or 12' would be ideal and not too heavy.1 of 1
