I pull with 20 footers on the outside then 16 footers then a 6 footer straight out the back from my rod rack on the rear of the boat. I also pulled an eight footer off each side on single holders about 2/3 of the way towards the front of the boat. They worked great in tighter spots when the bimini top is up. I broke one at the end of last year. They were real nice fenwicks foam handles they don't make anymore. Designed for small walleye trolling Good backbone with a nice tip that gave off real good action. Found them at a swap show awhile back. Any suggestions for replacing them? Looking for the best 8 foot pulling rod around 50 bucks.
