Musky rod question

Featured Replies

  • Super User

Looking for a 2 piece 7 foot medium/heavy rod to use for musky. It can be either a baitcast or spinning. Problem is I don't have a lot of money left after getting my boat ready. Anyone got any suggestions for a decent quality setup?

well I would stay clear away from 2peice rods for musky as they are big fish and could take the top part right off but a good one peice I hear only good things about from friends and people I fish with is the

Shimano compre and cardiff  which runs new around $190 but dont know what price range you realy did want muskiefirst.com has more there for muskie fishing thou I would ask there good luck

The only reason I was thinking 2 piece is storage and transport, I have a Nissan Xterra, a 7 foot rod in one piece would be a little rough to fit in. Most of my fishing before has been for smallmouth, heaviest rod I currently have is a 6 foot 6 inch spinning rod with 10lb test on it. Looking for something a little heavier. I will be fishing Little Seneca Lake in Germantown MD which has some good musky. Trying to get something a little heavier to handle any musky I could get into, but honestly would mainly be used for largemouths when I need something a little stronger. Bought my first boat ever recently need some better equipment.
