I've been procrastinating terribly on getting a rod for topwater, mostly for a walk the dog style. However St. Croix having the Rage rod promotion is enough prompting I believe. Looking at this Mojo Musky MM72MHF 7'2" MH Fast 1 20 - 50 3/4 - 3 7.4oz.

Also looking at the Premier series PM610MF 6'10" M Fast 1 17 - 30 1/2 - 2 7.1oz

My biggest thing is getting something that is going to balance right for a good wrist action without having to fight the rod that much. Going to be mostly throwing the big Rapala Xwalks and super spooks. Might also use it for some lighter weight baits, but WTD is primary.

Either would be nice, I prefer split grip so I'd probably go with the Mojo. Plus at 7'2" you've got a little extra length but still not slapping the water.

Well through the powers of impatience I decided on the Mojo. Should be a pretty light handling rig with a new Exo on it.

I have a 6' 6" Fenwick that I use for Jerkbaits and it's probably my favorite rod as I love jerkbaits. Nice meaty corks on it so it dosn't cramp your hands and the perfect size that the tip wont splash water. I think my other rods are jealous of my Fenwick.
