mike rousseau Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 I currently have a St.Croix trolling rod for musky and I'm looking fir a second trolling outfit for the wife... I'm wondering if anybody has positive feedback on any other brand rods... I like St.Croix for bass and walleye... But there musky stuff seems to be crap... Everyone I know who fishes musky with them has had the eyes fall apart... Anyway... I'm looking for an 8 foot rod... Heavy or x heavy... Looking to spend about 200 bucks... Lets here those opinions fellas... I know you got em... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Shimano Compre matched up with a Tekota 600LC works well for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Agreed, get an 8' Compre. Best bang for the buck by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outllaw Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 for 200 bucks you can buy 2 ugly sticks. one for trolling smaller baits the other a dipsey rod 10ft for fall big baits. these rods have foam handles which hold up better in rod holders trolling.

Raf Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 the 8' st. croix glass trolling rod is the best trolling specific rod i've found. sometimes i wish it were 9'. but outlaw is right, if you wanna save a few bucks get a heavy dipsey rod, it'll work for 95% of the baits out there.
