    Check Cabelas. They some times have their Cabelas branded trolling rods on sale. Most cheap and 12 ft don't go together for pushing.

    Kind of what I figured Cray. Just checking for any sales that someone may know of. I'm a pro angler guy so if I can't find a good deal I'll go back to them

    I have used the 12' Limit rods from Grizzly Jig. They bow down but they worked, probably some better rods out there but you did say" cheap"!!!! Think you can still buy 4 rods for $60.00 plus shipping .

    Define "cheap"?

    Never pushed cranks before so looking for recommendations, going to order from pro angler; would you buy a medium/heavy 12ft or medium/light? I plan on using Steve's 3oz trolling weights and pushing arkies off of the front of the boat

    Med/Heavy, that firecast 12 foot glass rod Grizzly has would do nicely and they are 20 bucks a piece if you order 3 or more.
