chauncy -> 7ft trolling rods (7/4/2008 6:35:40 AM)

Anybody know where i can get some 7' trolling rods? Even 7 1/2 would do. I'm currently using 8 1/2 and would like to downsize for my 16 1/2 ft boat. Would make it easier to net fish. Can only back up so far, you know.

Gander Mtn. or Cabelas.Poor Richards has a nice selection.

chaunc, are you talking for walleye or crappie?  i bought some through dinky a couple of years ago for walleye.  okuma.

Chauncy,

Unless you shorten your leader length, a shorter rod will make it harder to net. Less rod to lift up, and back.

I already shortened my leaders. Found out last year they were too long for my boat. Want to try with the shorter rods for trolling walleyes.

chaunc, did you get my pm?




chauncy -> RE: 7ft trolling rods (7/5/2008 6:52:13 AM)

Thanks for the info guys. I ordered a 7 1/2ft okuma from the fishusa store. I'll see how this one works for me. If i need a 7', i'll check again.
