BnM Sam Super Sens Bottom Seat/Touch Sys 11' 2pc

The BnM Sam Super Sens Bottom Seat/Touch System is an 11-foot, 2-piece crappie rod built for anglers who need a sensitive jig pole that won't wear you out on the water. Constructed from 40-million modulus IM6 graphite, this rod delivers the lightweight feel and responsiveness that have made it a go-to choice for crappie fishermen targeting everything from panfish to open-water structure. The bottom-mounted reel seat shifts the weight lower in your hand, improving balance and reducing fatigue during long days on the bank or boat—a simple design choice that makes a real difference when you're working light jigs all day.

What sets the Sam Super Sens apart is its touch system, which gives your hand direct contact with the rod blank itself. That's where the magic happens when you're detecting the subtle take of a crappie on a 1/16-ounce jig. Combined with the high-quality ceramic guides and brass-plated aluminum oxide frames, you get a rod that translates every tap and nibble straight to your fingertips. The genuine Portuguese cork handle is built to stay comfortable in your grip, resist heat from the sun, and contribute to the overall sensitivity that defines this series.

If you've spent time with crappie rods, you know the difference between one that feels like work and one that feels like an extension of your arm. The Sam Super Sens Bottom Seat/Touch System sits in the latter camp—it's tough enough for regular use, light enough for all-day jigging, and sensitive enough to separate genuine bites from the backdrop of branches and bottom.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the touch system and how does it help me catch more crappie?

The touch system gives you direct contact with the rod blank, eliminating barriers between your hand and the rod itself. This allows you to feel light bites more clearly—crucial when you're jigging in shallow water or around cover where crappie often take baits delicately.

Is the bottom reel seat better for long days of jigging?

Yes. By positioning the reel seat lower on the rod, the weight distribution improves balance and reduces the strain on your hand and wrist during extended jigging sessions. Many crappie anglers find this design noticeably less tiring than traditional top-mounted seats.

What type of reels work with this rod?

The bottom seat design accommodates both baitcasting and spincast reels, giving you flexibility to choose based on your preference and fishing situation.

Is this rod suitable for other panfish or just crappie?

While it's purpose-built for crappie jigging, the sensitivity and balance make it a viable option for other light-tackle panfish applications, though crappie is its primary design intent.
