Location: St Cloud, MN | I am looking for ideas on my next muskie set up. right now i have:
8' mh St Croix Premier-C5mag 6500, my all purpose setup
6' 9" xh St Croix avid- 5500 ultracast, my jerk bait setup
7' M AbuGarcia-6600 tournament, old school but it was my first rig and its good for light baits
Does it make sense to get a 7' 6" St Croix-C3SS6500 or is that too similar to my 8'er
i like to throw phantoms, sliders, undertakers, fatsos, mantas, jackpots, and everything else!
just looking for some critical but helpful input!
thanks,

| For those applications, I would go with the 7'6" St. Croix and the C3 7000, absolutely my favorite pair! Your combo is not bad either, but I really like the 7000 best! | |

Location: Wausau, Wisconsin | Recently Dennis Lappen of Fig Rig rods showed me the 7'6H musky rod. It is extremely light and strong. The lightweight construction is very beneficial in making your glide/twitch baits work to the best of their capabilities. For a reel, I prefer the Shimano Catala or Pfluegar Trion 66X. There are nothing but benefits from a one piece aluminum frame. These two reels are similar in price to the Abu Garcias.
