K_F Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 so in the bonehead move of the year (so far) i broke one of my musky rods on a snag (rope tied to cinder block). it started to move and i figured it was a piece of wood. Brilliant i know, anyways i need to replace the rod, im looking for the following criteria -2 piece -troll or cast -not ridiciously expensive i fish the kawarthas and ive got a abu c3 6501 to go on this rod. the rod i broke was a rapala magnum i picked up for $60 and i really didnt have a problem with it. im just looking for some suggestions - 2pc seem to be not all that popular from what i have seen. any help would be greatly appreciated thanks kf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 I'm not to sure if the Shimano Compre comes in 2 pc, but if it does, that would be my choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregoire Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 I have a 2 piece rapala magnum rod that i no longer use. Messega me if you are interested in buying it. If you want to upgrade the compre is available in a 7ft 2 pc rod. I have one and I like it a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbuck Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 I've got a St Croix Premier and a Shimano Compre in 2pc. The Premier is my go to musky rod. A bit more pricey but all in all, a nicer rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lew Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 I'm not to sure if the Shimano Compre comes in 2 pc, but if it does, that would be my choice. I'm agreeing with Bill, the Compre's are excellent rods !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nipfisher Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 I just picked up 2 Shimano TDR 9' trolling rods at Canadian Tire. They were $60 each. They are 2 piece medium action with a fast tip. They are not a true musky rod but more of a utility rod. I figure they will do me to start. I have them paired with a Penn 320 GTi and a Diawa Great Lakes reel. If you are only spending $60 on a rod you'll get what you pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robp Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Daiwa Heartland is a good inexpensive musky rod. LeBaron's sell the 2pc 6'6" for $59.72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I have a Heartland and a Shimano TC4 inshore Teramar and both are good rods, although the shimano is my fav of the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F_ast Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 For the price, the Compre is a great rod. I use Loomis and St.Croix rods now, but my old compres have held up to hundreds of fish. Another great rod that is not very expensive (any more) are the Fenwick HMG AV rods. Not sure if they are still being made, but they can be found as old inventory items. I think when I first got one, the rods were between $160 and $200. Think I saw a bunch at JBs fishing depot for like $80 in the fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
