Was going to invest in some leadcore set ups this year to fish the eastern basin. Went with high ratio retrieve Saltists for the reels. Can anyone suggest rods? I would be running them on big boards.

I use these for my normal trolling on both big boards and small and for dipseys, but they say lead core on the rod so I would assume they are ment for it specifically.
I really like then and the price is killer

I use the same rods as brahma for trolling both inline and Dipsy divers. I never seen the reason for expensive rods for trolling. For leadcore i use an 8'6 med heavy okuma for 6 colors. The mediums have too light a tip when pulling that much weight and a big board. I usually run a bandit and it puts me around 53 foot when trolling around 2 gps. I use the okuma magda pro 30 reels and run all braid backing so i can get some extra depth if needed. Only rod i spend money on is jigging/casting and gloomis is my only choice.
ive used just about every rod but the last 3 yrs I use okuma copper leadcore rod really like them for big board trolling.They run about50.00 a piece highly recommend they will go good with the saltist as I know its the same combo I use.Really nice for walleye or salmon
thanks fishfun
