A few of us hi jacked a guys thread BIG TIME, and it was mentioned that we should start a new one, so here it is. :lol:

Also, can anyone recommend a good musky casting rod. I'd like it to be somewhat inexpensive and I'm going to pair it with a Penn Levelmatic 940 that I got from a friend a few months ago. I'm probably only going to be throwing baits in the 1-3 ounce range. Large bucktails and cranks mostly. Anything under 1 ounce I could probably just do double duty with a bass rod. Maybe an Ugly Stik? A Shimano Compre or Convergence?
LonLB said:I've been looking too. I was looking in the $160-ish and under range......I've got a mish mash of Musky rods, but the nicest two are Gander Mountain rods....The wife broke one of mine, and I'm going to replace it with another. Hard to beat for the price. The Guide Series are what I have. They were like 60 or 80 bucks when I got them.
Keep in mind that a Musky rod doesn't have to be as light and sensitive as a bass rod.

Can't wait!

What did you get?
BTW if we can organize some sort of a meet, I have a few rods/reels I could let others use.

Those #5 Mepps are deadly so hang on. I have 8 or so. Big bass, northerns, muskie... there's just something about them.
I just got a few Mepps tandem musky killers from ebay. Can't wait to throw those, but they're about 3 times the weight of one of those #5's. I need to get a bigger rod!
wasilvers said:I've heard they are deadly, but I just never fished one before. Do you run it just under the surface, a few feet down, or ? I'm such a noob!
