B'n'M Pole Company started in West Point, Mississippi in 1947 as a broom-and-mop maker; the name is short for "Brooms and Mops." Founder Woodrow Wilson "Mr. Will" Simmons began selling bamboo poles on the side, and by 1949 the company had dropped brooms and mops entirely to make fishing poles, growing into the largest bamboo-pole supplier in the country. His son Wilson D. "Buck" Simmons added fiberglass telescopic poles in the late 1960s, then in 1979 built the first graphite jig pole for crappie, the Buck's Graphite Jig Pole, still the flagship line. The Wells family (Aubre and Jack Wells) took ownership in 2000 as the third generation.
The catalog is organized by discipline. Crappie fishing anchors it: trolling and spider-rig rods (Pro Staff Trolling, Capps and Coleman, West Point Crappie Rod, Duck Commander), long graphite and IM6/IM7 jig poles (Buck's Graphite Jig Pole, Diamond Series, Sam Heaton Super Sensitive, Black Diamond), and ultralight dock-shooting and casting rods (SharpShooter, Godwin's Crappie Cast). Telescopic bream and panfish poles run from the fiberglass BreamBuster and Little Jewel to Japanese-style graphite Tenkara rods (Little Mighty, Ambush). A large catfish line uses S-glass, E-glass, and carbon composite blanks (Silver Cat Elite, Silver Cat Magnum, ProStaff Bumping, the military-honor series). Saltwater is covered by Sam's Super Salt for trout and redfish.
Most signature rods are co-designed with tournament crappie pros and guides: Ronnie Capps and Steve Coleman, Roger Gant, Sam Heaton, Russ Bailey, Richard Williams, plus Duck Commander editions with John Godwin. Genuine Portuguese cork handles, Reinforced Hi-Vis (RHV) tips, and exposed-blank touch systems are recurring features across the lineup.
What B'n'M is known for
The Buck's Graphite Jig Pole is the flagship, the first graphite jig pole B'n'M built in 1979 and still the reference for vertical jigging and spider-rigging crappie. The Pro Staff Trolling series and Capps and Coleman rods, both now with Reinforced Hi-Vis (RHV) tips, are the entry points for spider-rig and long-line trolling; the BreamBuster and Little Jewel are the long-running fiberglass bream and bluegill poles. The Silver Cat line carries the catfish side. In this catalog B'n'M cross-shops against ACC Crappie Stix for graphite crappie rods, Whisker Seeker for catfish, and general panfish and inshore makers like Bull Bay and Lew's.
64 series indexed below; the chip clouds organize them by primary use and by technique fit. A series can appear under multiple groups when its rod lineup spans more than one.
