Location: Des Moines IA | If you can only have 1 musky rod. I would recommend the Okuma 8'6 XH. It's a high quality rod, lifetime warranty, and wil handle the majority of musky lures. |

I've got a few Shimano Compre rods which I'm very happy with, and they are great value for the money. |

Location: Chicagoland | I say go with either a shimano compre or a fig rig. Both are cheap , but very sturdy for the price. |

| I would agree with the compre. I have both the heavy and the extra heavy, both 8' and can't complain. Shimano customer service is also exceptional. |
