    Default Trolling rods?


    Stumbled across a couple of the okumo line counter reels magda pro 20dlx with the left hand retrieve I like. I have never trolled before but always wanted to give it a whirl so I guess I have no excuse now. What rods would you experts suggest because now I need 2? Would be for crappie and walleye!

    Depends on the number of rods you want to run and the spread, try to keep lines 3-4 ft apart.

    Southern Crappie Rods are my choice. I run a 16,14,and12 on each side upfront and 6 to 8 8footers outta the back. Of course to do this its nice to have either a MinnKota with AutoPilot or Ipilot. Heres the link to the rods. Southern Crappie Rods Enter Site

    I'm not familiar with the Southern Crappie rods? How stiff are they. I tend to longpole minnows or jigs right in the middle of the thickest treetops and brush I can find, and it takes something with a lot of backbone to pull a good fish out of there. I've also got some friends who spider rig using 3 oz. weights, and they like a stiff pole, too.
