irishfield Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 (edited) I find my 6'9 St. Croix is perfect off the dock and I'm 5'10" tall. I may find it's a tad short from my casting deck now though. Edited May 31, 2007 by irishfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitemikeca Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 I just got a new Muskie jerkbait rod myself. Its a 6' 10" Okuma extra heavy rod with my old Abu Garcia 5500 C3. I can't wait to try it out this Sunday. It only cost me $80 at JB's. I will let you know if I can recommend it after Sunday. My main Muskie setup is a 7' 2" heavy Shimano Compre with a 300TE Calcutta reel and it was just a little bit too short and had too much flex for jerkbaiting.
