Cabelas has a rod called a Whoopin Stick that is made specifically for Trolling. It's a glass rod and they work great. Like I said, it's a Trolling model in 8 or 81/2'. I have 2 of em, and they only cost about 25-30 bucks each when on sale. I also use the Walleye Angler Trolling rods from BPS in a 12' and an 8'. They make a 10' also. These are Trolling models also, and the tips vibrate like they should. They also make them for Dead Stick, Bottom Bouncing, etc. I use 2 16' Tight Line Specials too, but the PST's work good as well. I'm going to be a BnM distributor soon, and will have a great price on all of the BnM poles at the shop. I'm fixing to place my order in the next day or two.
