Rods for trolling?

[KrappieKrane]

Hey guys, I'm starting to outfit my boat for the spring and I'd like to get setup for pushing jigs out of the front of the boat. I was curious on a couple of things. First, what length rods are mostly used for pushing? And second, I've seen the rods from Cabelas called "Whuppin' Stick", but it's only rated as a lite action rod, and I was curious if this was too light to a action to handle 1/4 oz.-1/2oz. sinkers for this type of trolling? Any input would be great appreciated. Thanks for all the advice. Rollcaster..........................

I have some (3) whuppin stick rods and they handle 1/2-3/4 ounce weight pretty well and they are tough but you can feel the light bite as well. I use them for tight lining and trolling...I only wish they had reel seats instead of adjustable rings for reels, I taped them up pretty good to hold reel firm but for the money there great..GOD Bless Russ

I have three of the 9' and two of the 12' Sticks from Cabela's and they work great. Use mine mainly for trolling but they will work for pushing too. I bought the combo's with the spinning reels which are very smooth and come with and extra spool. Just my 2 cents.
