Gerritt Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Well... the title pretty much sums it up.. I need to purchase a couple of trolling rods, something that can handle dipsey's etc.. Anyone know of a half decent rod within a resonable budget? Looking forward to your advice! Gerritt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Yes Gerritt, the Pete Maina Combo's are great and don't cost very much. We use them on Quinte and for Salmon. They are at BPS. Joey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raf Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 shimano tdrs, cabela's depthmaster are examples of dipsey rods that don't break the bank. I don't know what the bps house brand is. you don't need anything fancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 For that application I'd go TDR as well. Prolly could pick them up around $35 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PERCHER Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Dont forget BIG crank baits.Like Stretchman 20s,or 30s,big Walleye divers and even some nice size spoons.Planner boards and even some keel weights or clip on wiegths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowPoke Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Cheap linecounter dipsy setup... Daiwa Heartland 8' Dipsy rod with a Daiwa Accudepth PLUS will run you around $100. The Accudepth PLUS model is leaps and bounds better than the old Accudepth reel. The Heartland rods are an excellent value. -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishdawg Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 I agree Heartland & TDRs are reasonably priced & bullet proof The Accudepths & Okuma Magdas will do the job, but if your gonna do a little more trolling then just 2 trips a year to Quinte, do yourself a favor & get Convectors or Sealine linecounters - speaking from experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff R Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Are Shakespeare's any good? never used them...not sure what the reel was....cruised into LeBaron's today to start getting an idea of what I'll need and they had a couple of combos for $40-$50. just wondering if I'll get what I pay for...hate to cut a weeknd short because of junk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike the Pike Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 You need planer boards for sure.MTP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerritt Posted August 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 OK Planer boards for sure.... is there any other way of mounting them without a mast? as you guys can tell... this is all new for me... Gerritt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tybo Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Gerritt, In line boards with flags. They attach toyour line. No need for a mast. Flags take the guess work out. The TDR's are a great rod for the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
