Location: Minneapolis | I'd recommend a TI for your first rod...and the one after that...and after that...etc. I'm reluctant to try other brands bc I like the one I have so much. |

Being a bass, walleye, pike fisherman it seems like 9' is kind of big. I know its common in musky fishing but are the 9' TI rods that much of an advantage over a 7'6 or 8' rod.
I fish muskies one week a year (for several years). The rest of my little fishing time is spent on bass and such. I've been through a lot of rods between 6'3" and 9' for that one week a year. The 9' TI is by far my favorite. Once you get over the thought that you'll be lumbering it around and lugging it over your shoulder, and realize how easy it is to let the 9' TI rod do the work for you, it'll feel just as good as your bass gear. |

| Get a TI 8' XH or XXH rod with a cardiff and you have a great beginner set up that will toss most baits.. And for a lot less than other rods of equal quality. i have 3 or 4 TI's and like all of them. In fact they have replaced alot of my St croix rods. you can also look at tooth tamer or musky innovation rods for slightly more, but the TI offers a great rod for less. |

| 8' XH or XXH Tackle Industries rod and you are all set for 80% of the baits you want to throw. 9' rods are nice but for your first rod 8 does well and without the hassle of a hauling around the extra foot. |
