Ugly stik 7' one piece medium action is very popular and are only $35. Also Okuma makes walleye specific rods the call their Dead Eye rods. They are about $30. Stick with 7' rods med or medium light action

Does it have to be a trolling specific rod? Or just a standard casting rod meeting those specs?

[ReelTime]

Does not have to be trolling. The main thing that is very important is to have all the rods be the same. That way it is easy to detect when a small fish is hooked up as all rods will act the same.

Look on eBay, I just bought 2 new okuma trolling rods for $36 for the pair including shipping! I have 7 , 8 and 9 ft rods so I can stagger them. Can't beat the price and they are nice rods!

What model and action?

[Eyezcrazy]

I bought the Okuma Classic Pro CPM in medium action. There were some models with the fluorescent tips but I like the classic gloss black. After looking back, that price didn't include shipping but depending on how many you buy you can get them for around $18 each.

I just bought a couple of daiwa wilderness trolling rods at fishusa.com for 15.95 each and got free shipping. these are nice rods for the price.

We use the cabelas depth master series for all of our rods. All the same size and action so they all act the same. Very good sturdy rods for the dollar.

I just switched to Ugly Sticks from Berkley rods after breaking my second one in a year. Several charter guys run Ugly Sticks and they'll last forever. Get the 7' rods and as they said above, get all of them the same size.
