| A gent at the show is looking for a wide spectrum, general use muskie rod...
SUGGESTIONS???[:bigsmile:] |
|
| |
|
| Aurora 7 1/2' MH comes to mind for multi use.
Straight bucktails...go to an 8'er
I've some St Croixs in the in-shore saltwater series that are great for bucktails.

| The 6'-9" Hvy Premier by St.Croix is a good all around rod,may be a little siiff for the light buctails,but good for cranking,livebaiting and trolling. Capt. Larry |

| I vote for All Stars or Auroras
I like my Aurora Worrall 7'6" heavy a lot not only for bucks but smaller cranks and topwaters.
In All Stars, I use W. Inshores. Got a 7' and 8'6" that work great. A little softer than what most folks expect in a Muskie rod but they have plenty of power and I think the softer side works well with superbraids.

| St. Croix...PM80MHF
Hands down. |
|

|
| If price doesn't affect it too much.....Loomis 7'7" MUR914-CX....pricey beasts but no better action.
My Humble Opinion,

| the bucktails fly further off a fenwick.
I have used the St Croix premiere that Rob suggests. It is multipurpose but slightly heavy for light tails i think, but I have been doing a lot of that lately and you know what they say about people who do that, pretty soon they lose "it" and i used to be full of "it"
but now I'm worried that I am half full but being a pessimist I really see myself as being half empty[:)] |

| I second DocEsox about the G-Loomis. For an all-purpose but primarily bucktail rod, you can't go wrong with the 7'7" MUR914-CX. I would have recommended my 7'2" light bucktail Loomis, but for all-purpose this rod is to light to throw jerkbaits, topwaters, and crankbaits that are average to large sized.
Hope this helps,

| Check out the 7 and 7 1/2 foot balanced rods from Fig Rig. I have both on orser and can;t wait to get them on the water this year. Look and feel great!

| Balanced or unbalanced, I'd have to favor the Fig Rig MU 808. It excells with spinner baits, gives good action to surface lures and is heavy enough to handle large crank baits as well as trolling. It's a one peice rod, 8' length, heavy action with a medium fast taper. The top has enough flex from the med/fast taper to nicely control spinners, yet it has more than enough backbone for large cranks and/or trolling. It's as light as most 7ft rods, too. Obviously, this rod is my favorite. |

| I agree with the Cadster, the 8' St. Criox is a great rod. The added length is great for boat side figure 8's, you can start your turn far away from the boat. Also nice to throw those bigger bucktails!
