| Hey guys,
I just wanted to share that Cabela's has a steal on rods right now. Their Tourney Trail Rods are on sale for $32.99 from $64.99, and now theyre offering FREE shipping with the code 44BASS. Which kinda sucks considering I bought the 7'6" Heavy 1-3 oz rod last week and had to pay $16 shipping :(. But the rod feel super stout, even though I havent fished it yet. They also have a 7'6" XH 2-6 oz model.
Just thought I'd share.

Location: St. Lawrence River | Just ordered a 7'6 XH.. Never hurts to have another rod, not for $32!!
Thanks for the tip |

| How would these fare as trolling rods? Am considering maybe picking up some of the "TTCS865-2" 8 foot 6 inch medium heavy... I could get a set of 6 trolling rods for 200 bucks. Reels would need to wait, but hard to pass that up. Would these work well? |

Location: Otsego, MN | For that price! I just ordered one but their selection of longer rods is dwindling.
8'6" MH or 9' H is about all they have over 8' |

Honestly man, I have no idea. I have zero experience with anything muskie fishing. Im just now getting gear to start this spring. |

Location: Otsego, MN | The longer 8'6" or 9' would be better for your "out" rods trolling. I would urge MH or H for that.
For this price its a great way to get that extra setup you dont already have... |

| Just picked up a 7'6 EH. Be careful if you go to their store. They ring up at 64.99 yet. You just have to tell them that they are 32.49.

Location: Pewaukee | Received my XH 7'6" in the mail yesterday. It feels much better than I had expected. I will try it with my mantas. If nothing else it will be great for my buddies who borrow my gear. |

Location: St. Lawrence River | Got my Cabelas rod today. Tell ya what, I'm pretty darn impressed for thirty bucks. Had an 8' Okuma EVX 2-6oz sitting in the corner so I took some pics side by side to compare. This cabelas rod is nicer then I figured it would be. Short cork but other then that, sweet rod.

| Ordered the 7'6" XH on Monday...it arrived Wednesday extremely well packaged. After comparing it to my other rods, it may turn out to be the best $30 I ever spent. It's the same cost as 1 bait! |

Location: Minneapolis, MN | The only complaints I have about my Cabela's rods is that the hook keeper isn't really sized for musky baits and the cork is a little short. |

If you like to hook your lures on the keeper, a simply solution would be to take a split ring and hook around the keeper. Then you could hook your lure in the split ring. |

Good call..
What are you guys thinking for reels for these rods.. Pairing mine up with a 6500 C3, I've got a power handle kicking around for it.. I'll have around $70.00 invested in this setup by the time it's ready to go. Sweet  |

| I used to have a couple tourney trail rods from cabelas, they are pretty nice rods, but the reel seats on the ones i had were garbage, the screw down part of the seat would strip and you couldn't tighten the reel up on the rod...This was a few years ago though, they might have improved them since then... |
