Simplicity and performance win out with the new Whitey Outlaw Double Duty pole from B’n’M. It is back to basics, but with big panfish in mind. “We designed this pole to fish for big bream and big shell crackers,” says pro angler Whitey Outlaw. “I mean those 1-pound bream and those shell crackers that go anywhere from 1 ½- to 3-pounds.”
Outlaw’s motivation to develop a different bream pole was based on his experience. “I wanted to change my bream fishing a little,” said Outlaw. “I previously used B’n’M 12-foot BreamBuster poles. Those are great for normal fishing, but when I targeted those big fish in Santee they would tear the bed up because I was not getting them out quick enough. They would swim around fighting to go back down and basically causing havoc, scaring the other fish.”
Outlaw was looking for more backbone in a lightweight pole with the expectation of landing a few more fish from any given hole. “You need too snatch those fish out of the water as fast as you can and leave nothing but a little ring in the water. The Double Duty is designed with enough backbone to do just that. I describe it as a souped-up model of previous poles.”
Outlaw recalls using plain old cane poles in his youth and just like with a cane pole there is no reel needed with the Double Duty. “On a cane pole you would tie the line on the end of the pole and put a piece of tape on it. We have improved on that. With the Double Duty you just tie your line to the built-in tie-down guide and spiral wrap the line towards the tip. This method adds more backbone to the tip for landing big fish fast.”
He explains that proper rigging adds another benefit. Read More . . .
