Great rod for bottom bouncing, trolling or casting crankbaits for Walleye, Bass and more. A good rod for dead stick fishing from rod holders. I’ll use two rods on the inside, and two of the 8’6” rods on the outside. This is a perfect pair for trolling cranks and spinner harnesses. Great rod for light bucktails or for spooning pike and lake trout. Try using a silver or gold light spoon as an attractor 3’- 4’ ahead of a spinner harness. Works great for Walleye on the Great Lakes. Rod also works great for heavier bottom bouncers and in-line sinkers.
