Can anyone recommend a Musky rod that will fit in a 7 foot rod locker that is 7'6" or 8' I guess I am looking for a Retractable handle rod? Does Okuma rods go down to 7' when retracted........Any good 2 pc. rods out there that someone could recommend. Thanks just bought a little 16 footer and it only has a 7' rod locker..... Thanks Henry

I have an 8' Tica that I am getting along with pretty good. It retracts down to around 6 1/2".

Love my Okuma 8'6" XH! Works great for bull dawgs and DGs. Lifetime guarantee
I matched it with a induron 400 idx
