Gander mountain guide series, shimano tdr's. Heavy 7' ugly sticks, anything I'm not afraid no destroy. Tdr's are a great cheap trolling rod.

That is what I have been hearing! In your opinion go Med/Heavy or Heavy in the TDR?

Bass pro off shore boat rods... 29.99 can't beat them. Heavier than tdr and will work better with BIG cranks

Sorry looks like they went up $5 and style has changed... But the 7' heavy is what I have. I run 8 rods so price was important to me. I paired them with magdas so the combo is nearly disposable at that price.

Tooth Tamer rods 9" heavy and 8"6" MH are what we use in our trolling set ups. Great rods, very versatile.
