    Looking for a couple 10 or 10.5 ft. trolling rods. What do IDO members recommend? They will be used pulling planer boards with cranks & spinners.

    I would look into the st.croix wild river (wc106mmf2). I use mine from pulling boards, leadcore and long line trolling. Yoiu might want to take a look at the new eyecon trolling rods out.

    Take a look at the Cabela’s Fish Eagle 2 trolling rods up to 12′ @ $99.95. They have spiral guides that help keep the reel from floppin’ over in the holder.

    Some great rods have been mentioned. I would also look at the Bass Pro Shops Walleye Angler Signature Series rods. They have a 10 ft’er that is specifically designed for planner boards. They also have an 8.5 ft’er for planer boards as well.

    I agree with Ben on the Bass Pro Shop line. For the money they can’t be beat. I run all 8’6 models for my planer board rods and run 7’6 & 8’6 for my 3 way w/braid rods. Also keep an eye out because they put them on sale alot and you can save even more $

    Get yourself a couple 2 piece (fiberglass) 9-10 1/2′ rods and you’ll be just fine without spending a ton of money….
