[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 490498, member: 21536"] Most of the fishing I do is trolling for rainbow trout in lakes. I don't see a need for spending a lot on sensitive graphite rods for trolling, especially with down riggers. I have Lexa 100 line counters on 7'6" fiberglass rods. One is a Lamiglas light action and the other is Eagle Claw medium light. The Eagle Claw was half the price and I think I like it better in fact. The rods I have are actually designed for Kokanee, which have a very soft mouth. Hence the lighter actions. It took me awhile to get used to these rods, especially when landing a larger fish. Now that I'm used to them I like them a lot. I have no idea how fishing for walleye might compare to fishing for rainbows. Sounds like you need more a more robust rod. Sorry I can't help you more. PS: My spares are UglyStiks with spinning reels. I like them because they can take a lot of abuse. [/QUOTE]
