Looking for 9 foot telescoping rod recommendations to be paired with Tranx 400.

My only experience is with a TI XXH 9' telescoping rod that I use for dawgs. It is a somewhat heavy rod but well balanced with a really nice thick cork handle. For the money, I think it would be hard to beat. I got it a couple years ago when James had a deal where if you ordered a rod on Memorial Day, he gave a rod to a veteran.

I've got 8.5 ft. Shimano, Okuma, and TI. They all come in 9' as well. I am happy with all of mine. They are not super expensive. I've got a 9' Legend Tournament that that I keep in a side locker, that doesn't collapse. It is clearly a better rod, but the price gap is more significant than the performance gap. I wouldn't spend the extra for a higher end rod, unless those particular features really make a difference for you. Better off spending the money on quality reels and other equipment that might be very useful for you. I got 8.5 footers because they collapse to 7 ft., which fit in my in-floor rod locker.

The new Shimano Skixx Rods are supposed to be pretty awesome. The 8’6 and above rods are telescoping. I’ve been trying to get a look at them at my local tackle shop but they actually got them in the day after our governor ordered a shut down of all non essential businesses.

Can you tell me the weight on your 9 foot MH and XH rods? Which one is most comparable to the Mojo Musky 9 foot Heavy?

Location: Land of the Musky		I always tell everyone to go by a rods lure weight rating. Our MH is 1-4oz and XH is 2-8oz. That is the sweet spot for casting lures. They can of course throw outside of those ranges too. I am not sure what the SC heavy is rated for?
