| There are some great fishing rods mentioned in this post and you cannot go wrong with any of them. What I picked up on your post and I might be wrong is "a rod." Like many fisherman, especially those new to musky fishing, they are looking for one rod to throw just about everything they have. My suggestion would be pick a stick that can handle the heaviest bait you want to throw and then start thinking about future rods that would perform better throwing your smaller baits.
There is a gap in the two baits you mentioned. |

Location: Lake Geneva, WI | If you are looking for mainly one rod, I'd recommend the TI XH. You can basically throw everything. I have the TI XH and Big Nasty, both are great rods. I like the overall feel of the BN better( I like the palming handle), and use for smaller bucktails, reg/mag rubber, glide baits. I like the TI XH for larger blades 9s and 10s as it has a stiffer tip. For the price you cannot beat the TI and the customer service is excellent. Good luck! |

| I love my TI XH 9' telescopic rod! Gonna buy another one in XXH this year for big rubber. I use a St Croix mojo as well and it's a great rod, but not as great as the TI. The customer service from James at TI is second to none. He makes amazing products at affordable prices.
It was mentioned before that you could buy two TI rods in XH and XXH for the same price as a big nasty, I would for sure go that route if I were you. The cork handles on these rods are big and comfy, making them easy to fish all day. They don't have a palming seat, but I don't miss that feature. The telescoping mechanism works perfect, never had issues with it. Makes storage and transport much easier. The rod locker on my boat is 7'10 so these rods fit perfectly (a 9' rod goes down to 7'6'').
Anyways hope this helps. Counting down the days until spring....
