Which model do all of you suggest? Power to set a sucker more important than the trolling piece! have used the heavy ones for both trolling and suckers. worked good for trolling; too soft for consistent hook-sets on suckers. get the Black River that you were talking about earlier, works great for both. http://www.muskyshop.com/modules/cart/products.php/nav_id/23/page/1... | |||

Posts: 120 | I also think the heavy TDR is too soft for suckers hook sets. If your only going to have one rod for both I think you would be happy with the St. Croix glass rod. That is my sucker rod. | ||

Black river glass trolling rods work great for suckers. I also use the tdr for trolling and they might be a touch light for a hook set, but for trolling I would recommend 8' tdr heavies, cheap and work great! | |||

Trolling yes. Suckers, no. | |||

Posts: 2687 Location: Hayward, WI | I agree on the 8' H for trolling, but too limber for suckers. For double duty, my TI 8' trolling/live bait rod seems to do well. I view it more of a sucker rod, but I've trolled with it and I think it has enough give in the tip for trolling, especially with big baits and planer boards. | ||
