Go to Wally World and look for the longest Rods in the store. They are meant for Jig Poles but essentially a fly rod blank with good eyes (The one i bought had titanium) they had them in 10-14' lengths and 8-10 line weight and 12-14 or something like that. I paid like 40 some bucks for one and slapped a Pflueger Medelist 10/11 reel about 300 yards of backing 150 yards of lead core and it is the sweetest trolling setup for trout. It would work sweet with a spinning reel too. It would probably be cheaper than putting new eyelets on a rod you already have.



Wouldn't be cheaper but certianly less time consuming


You figure a buck an eyelet, wrap and glue and a couple hours it is worth it. Plus on the 12'er i bought i think there is 10 eyelets so maybe more than a couple hours. :chuckle:

That's what I was getting at, I meant the rod  wouldn't be cheaper, but yeah, you might be spending a few hours at the bench. :chuckle:
