Location: Ogden, UTAH 10 minutes from pineview reservoir | Hey everyone, I am looking to pick up a muskie-able spinning rod to use on my boat for those who dont know how to throw a baitcaster. I know shimano used to make one but they have since discontinued these rods. I am just curious what spinning rods you use? Brand, length and action...
thanks |

Location: Smith Creek | SC Tidemaster TIS76HF. They make a 7 footer and 8 footer too, a little tip heavy for me. Put a 4500 series shimano on there with 30 lb braid. It's what the girls in the boat use. |

Location: Madison, WI | Shimano stills makes a 7' spinning rod in the compre muskie series.
Cortland used to offer a 7' spinning rod in the endurance muskie series. They may still be available.
Musky Innovations used to make a couple of 8' spinning rods in the bulldawg series. They may still be available.
As mentioned, a heavy action inshore spinning rod is always an option.

| For some reason I'm having difficulty logging in but here's something for you to look at. These were designed and built specifically for musky fishing.

Location: Ogden, UTAH 10 minutes from pineview reservoir | Thanks for all the input, I am looking at spending about $100 not much more because this rod will be a loaner rod to those who fish on my boat who can not throw a bait caster! dont quite trust a rookie to throw a much more expensive rod... |

| You can't beat the rods in th ST Croix In-Shore line. Made for bonefish, permit and other hard-fighting fish, they have all the strength you'll need. I have an 8 footer for jids/creatures, and my daughter uses a 7 or 7 1/2 when its windy and she's throwing light lures. I've got them all loaded up with varying reels from a Daiwa SS1300 to a couple of Quantums all spooled with 45# Stren Super- Braid. Awesome rods with plenty of power. Check their web site to see all of the lengths and powers available.

Location: South-Central PA | I'm with Beaver on this one. The 8' Avid Inshore Heavy is a beast, I built one for small baits. It's rated to 3oz and can handle that very well. The rods have a fast tip but it's not overly stiff. They have tremendous power in the butt section. An 8' heavy in the Inshore lineup will certainly handle muskies.
