Posts: 91 Location: Central Wisconsin | I am looking for an 8'6"-9' rod with a full cork handle at least 16"-18", that is rated for up to 16oz baits and can still work lighter baits as well. If I could find a telescopic or two piece rod that would be more preferred, but will go with a one piece if that's all I can find. I know tackle industries has a rod that falls in this category but am looking for other options, and wanted to make sure I'm not overlooking some other choices. Thanks for any suggestions.

St. Croix Premier PM90XHF2. Says its rated to 12oz but throws pounders with ease. New style two piece. | |||

Posts: 340 Location: Lake County Illinois | I really like my Okuma EVX Musky Telescopic 9'3'' XH its rated up to 16 oz but I throw just about everything with it,the only problem is it only comes in split grip now,but I have seen new ones still around with the full grip on Amazon or ebay, and im sure there are some full grips out there still. | ||

Posts: 750 Location: Minneapolis, MN | Ok, just wanted to make sure you weren't planning to throw 1 oz lures. For telescopic you're pretty much looking at a TI XXH, Okuma XXH, or Shimano Compre XXH. In the two piece market you'd probably want to look at a St. Croix Premier but they only go to an XH rated to 12oz so may end up not liking it if you're mainly going to throw pounders with it. | ||
