| Hello everyone
I am looking for a rod for throwing big swimbaits such as the 40 cm line thru trout from savage gear (26 ounce), the 2 pounder bulldawg and others
Rods that i are on my minde include the XXXH 9' from TI, one of the monster mags from MI and the 9' XXXH from tooth tamer
Could those who has tried one or several of these rods give me there opinion? |

Location: South-Central PA | I've only had experience with the TI rod, but it's a great one for throwing that heavy stuff. Lots of backbone and plenty light in weight. The stock TI grips are great too!

| oki, im sure you know it, but http://www.franglaisfishing.com/ has some good options, but none of the really heavy rods, i also have the 2 piece TI XXH and it does cast the 2 pounder, bot not as good as some of the other rods.
Do you know of a EU dealer that sells tooth tamer rods ?

| No idea, i have never seen any european compagnie selling anything from tooth tamer but i did find one german site that sells XXXH rods from musky innovations
http://www.pikeshop.de/musky-innovations/bull-dawg-rod-1-teilig.htm...
and, after talking with TA, i have sent a message to franglais fishing asking if they can order in a XXXH rod and i am currently waiting for an anser |

| Nice, i didn't know pikeshop had updated their bulldawg stock, i bought a ton of stuff from pikeshop, and he is a great guy to deal with. but shipping on the rods and Frabil nets comes close to 50-60 euro.
Regarding franglais fishing expect some loooong respone time on email, not uncommon to wait 14+ days for a replay, but he is usually very help full, i got my Mark Lijewski and my LT Big Dawg rod at franglais fishing. |

Location: Land of the Musky | http://www.franglaisfishing.com/ Can get any TI rods they need if you let them know. They get a few shipments a year from us and are due for one soon... I know another guy was sending Steve a note for a rod request.
