| Any suggestions for a good cold weather sucker rod that is fairly inexpensive? I really like my St. Croix 7'proglass rods but was looking for a back-up that is less expensive. I broke two graphite rods this year on hooksets with live bait in cold weather. On the same day. Bummer[:0] |

| Just got the new St. Croix catalog and a bumper sticker in the mail yesterday ( thanks Rob!)
and it shows that they have a Pro Glass Musky rod that would be great for sucker fishing.
Rod #GMC69H or #GMC70XH looks to fit your needs.
You also might want to call Brett at Throne Bros. a call. They make some great custom rods and I'm sure they could put one on a glass blank for you. |

| You might also what to ask around at one of the swap meets that are held after the Muskie expos this winter. |

| The Pro-Glass rods are very tough.I don't Sucker fish,but the 7'XHY can take snags on a tight drag at 3.0 mph in below freezeing weather.The Graphites use to blowup on me when the same snag were to happen under the brutal cold conditions. Capt. Larry |

| Matt,
Also consider the heavy power rods in the Classic Catfish Series. I used the CC66H with great results. I know these rods aren't going in the price range of what you're looking for, but you won't disappointed with the suggestions.
Bill, my pleasure to send the catalog. Need a rod or 3?[;)] [:bigsmile:]

| I love my proglass for suckers, and have yet to break one. I was looking to see if there were cheaper alternatives. I think I payed something like 130.00$ for my proglass rods. They are awesome sucker rods. |

| Look at the swap meet board, I have a couple of G-Loomis trolling/sucker rods for sale cheep. |
