Musky rod

[a.cortellessa]

Hey guys,

Anyone have a suggestion for a good all-round musky rod? I'm going to pigeon lake and am targeting musky. So a good beginner rod/reel that isn't very expensive would be awesome.

So please let me know of a specific brand of rod and reel, a place to get it or if anyone is interested in selling one of theres!

 

Thanks so much!

Probably should mention what type of baits you're going to be throwing. Those big honkin baits have different requirements.

I think there was some talk awhile ago about a muskie version Ugly Stick that one of our members had acquired at a reasonable price. I thought it was a good pole for someone to start out with and get the feel of the hole muskie fishing thing.Heres the link to the pole.
