    Default What Rods Do You Like for Trolling Cranks?


    Right now all I have are a couple Med/Heavy 7 foot bass rods. I did pick up an Okuma line counter reel off of E-Bay that I really like.
    What are some of your favorite rods for trolling crankbaits?

    I have four 9' medium action ugly sticks with BPS tourney special reels on them waiting for me in San Diego. I will be putting 12lb Trilene Sensation on them. I would love to tell you how those work but I will not be home from Afghanistan for another three. I will be sure to let you know though when I get home and get to use them how they work.

    I use 12 foot B&M Pro Staff Trolling Rods. One on each side. Then I put a 7 foot medium heavy on each side also. I like 10# mono line and just use regular Zebco 33 reels. Keep your drag set as light as you can without slipping under the weight of the crank bait in the water. Then if you hook a stump or a large green carp like I have, it won't break the line before you stop the boat.

    I use my regular walleye rods when trolling. Both are medium weight. One is 6 1/2 and the other is 7 foot. 8# test on both.
