I'm brand new to the site and impressed so far with all the content. Very great forums!

I have gathered some valuable info for crappie fishing in my home state of Wisconsin, but for now I am actually looking for a stout rod in the 10-12' length that has the backbone to stick the hooks into a walleye or simply stout enough to pull in a larger game fish and not be too wimpy. A Fast or Extra Fast action would be best, but I have minimal experience with these exceptionally long crappie rods in the market.

I just ordered and received a 10' Jenko Hypersense rod for crappie fishing. While I think I will like it for crappie jigging, it will no way have the backbone to stick a larger fish for my other purpose.

So, are there any rods out there that may work for my request? These rods don't necessarily have to be the top of the line models. They just need to have to be Fast to Extra Fast and have backbone.

Thank you in advance.
