Posts: 8775 | Normally use a 6'9"H St Croix, but as it gets later in the season I worry about breaking it when it gets really cold. I can't see spending a lot on a rod that I only use a few times a year, so anything expensive is out of the question. Broke right now anyway... Any recommendations? | ||

The rods are good, I can also attest to that; remember to tighten down the drag on any reel just taken from the rod locker however! S. | ||

Posts: 341 | Another inexpensive but solid rod is Bass pro's Cat Max 7' 6" heavy action. I like them a little longer to give that extra second to react if they turn around the boat. Edited by muskycore 11/5/2007 3:16 PM | ||

Shimano has a graphite/glass rod combo, I had a Shimano rep show me at the new Cabelas in Hammond, Indy. It was I think called a Tallora, Tullora somthing like that. Acts like a glass rod for cold weather but has the back bone of a graphite. He held on the floor and had me set the hook like on a sucker. Bent pretty much in a U and still had alot of balls. Might be a great option for colder weather fishing. | |||
