SlowPoke Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Setting up my boat for trolling and I would like to pick up some extra rods. I'm not looking for recommendations, I know what I would buy if money wasn't an issue - just looking for opinions on these Heartland rods. Looking for 2 downrigging rods 8'-9' for salmon Also looking for 2 dipsy rods 9'-10' forbows and salmon. These rods are really cheap at $30, are they a good value or a waste of money? -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigger08 Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Hey Brian I have a pair of these in my stash and they are well worth the money.They handle downrigging,straight line and inline planer boards with ease and are more than adequate for salmon and trout.Better balance than my slightly more expensive Eagle Claws.

OhioFisherman Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 I don`t have any of the trolling rods, but some baitcasting and spinning. Decent rods, no problems with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlowPoke Posted March 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Sounds like these rods are a great buy (for the money). I've read elsewhere that the guides stand up well for wire too. Thanks for the input folks! -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
