Looking for a good all purpose rod that’s good for “lighter” musky lures (3/4-3 oz).

Thanks!

Bulldog Pro Series, 8.5 footer. X-Heavy. Great all around rod at a great price. Jeff Hanson (Madison) has been known to have a few laying around if you talk nicely to him. Might want to hit him up on here.

I have the Cabela's Musky Hunter 2-piece in both 7'9" spinning and 8' casting models and a St Croix Triumph 7'6" 1piece. All three will handle 3/4 to 4oz. lures. I feel that these are good rods regardless of what others may say. Not everyone can afford multi hundred fishing outfits. davemp

Not sure of the length you are looking for but I have an Elk River 9' ERX med heavy Musky rod and love it.
I have 8 or 9 St Croix rods and would not complain about one but I find myself with the Elk River in my hand most of the time.
