I have tried to find a 10' rod that would have about 5 to 6" deflection from center. Is this possible? Dose anyone use such a rod. I have two 7 foot rods by eagle claw, the yellow ones, for striper fishing that work well but would like to get out a little further.
The 10' rods I have are too flimsy to use for the 3 to 4 oz pushing rig.
Any one have any ideas?
I use daiwa wilderness rods. They got good backbone and are very sensitive
I just looked them up and unfortunately you can't tell much about the rod from those pictures. Are you using the 9.6' rod?Quote:

The Fire Cast rods that Grizzly Jig has do a very nice job, get the glass ones. We push 2 14' poles and pull 8 a lot of times.
Thanks Rees 14 footers and then 8 boy that must be tough. Our lake with all the trees we would be stuck constantly. I'll work up to that maybe someday.Quote:

If you have a catalog they are on page 45, they come in 10s, 11s,12, and 14s all in 2 piece rodds too, I like that. Priced from 19 to 27 respectively. They are called Promotional Glass Series, you may have to call them at 800-305-9866.
We run 10 a lot, running 6 yesterday due to lake limits we had 3 fish on and 2 hung up at one time, was like a Chinese firedrill there for a little bit but it sho was fun!!!!:biggrin
Sounds like fun, any time your catching is great.Quote:

Yeh but you know I you never can have too many lol
Yes i believe that they are 9' 6". Cant beat the price and they are sturdy rods. $18.00 bucks at the most.
Thanks I have a couple coming so I be able to use them and let you know my experience. I also have a couple that Rees recommended in this thread. Should be all set in a few weeksQuote:

You are correct and going to a lake that is crankbait friendly really helps too, you aren't learning much when you aren't getting bit.Quote:

The new Wally Marshall rods by Lews will hold the weight with no problem. Troll-Tech
Ok, really appreciate all the advice and will put it to good use. I always found that you tend to stay with a method that works then as the season changes you are not as successful. So I thought another method would be in order especially when the fish move out in the deeper water.
Thanks
Boy Wally sure thinks highly about his rods. $60! That first fish would be expensive per poundQuote:
