BPS & Galyans rods

I'm looking to purchase new spinning gear to mate to a Shimano Sahara. I
was going to get a 1500 with a 6' light action rod to fish crappie, blue
gill, and the occasional stray bass and a 2500 with a 6'6" medium action to
fish bass.

BPS has a combo mated to their Bionic Blade that would be about the same
price as buying a Galyans branded IM8 Fuji guided rod. By the specs they
offer the same features. Even cheaper is the Galyans branded IM7.
Actually, the Galyans salesman told me their rods come out of the same plant
as BPS.

Does anyone know how these rods will perform?

The Bionic Blades are good rods. I've got about a half dozen of them and
when you can catch them on sale for $49.99, they're even nicer!

They are on sale now for $49.99 during the fishing expo extravaganza or
whatever. The extremes are also on sale for $59.99, which is even better I
think.

Going out there tonight.

Great time to buy these rods! Pick a good one!

I have a BPS Crankin' Stick. I was happy with it until I had a
backlash in a tournament. I put it down and picked up a Castaway
spinner bait rod and tied the crank to it. I could feel the crank
working much better. Its important to feel the crank working because
a bass can eat it and spit it out before you even feel them. But if
you stop feeling the crank vibrate you can set the hook. I have since
bought a St. Croix rod for cranking, but I haven't gotten it wet yet.

Galyans rods are made by the same people who make them for BPS. I live
near Indianapolis, IN which is headquarters for galyans. Galyans Med
rds have the same specs as BPS Med HVy rods. Bps offers a better
selection in lighter rods, while the galyans tend to be heavier.
