Which trolling rods and reels do you use?

I have 3 Daiwa 47's and 3 27's mounted on an assortment orf rods. Two of the 47 is on Gander Mountain Musky rods, 1 is on a St. Croix Musky and the 3 27's are on Cal 1100 Ugly Sticks. Will be making some changes this spring...
Wakina,,, How do you like the GX2's ? do you think they are as good as the old Cal 1100's ????

They have great backbone and the tips are still very readable, if you happen to not be looking at the board when the bite on the board happens you can actually see the tip vibrating or rod bouncing the holder from the strike/bite. You can't miss it unless you are totally distracted and not seeing either one when it happens. I do not use the tattle tail flag system but rely on reading the rods and the boards. Personally I think they are every bit as good as the old model CAL 1100.

Big boards and use Okuma Deadeye ML Big Board Rods. They are hard to beat for the price. I've got over 3 years on the rods and Magda reels, with very few issues. I'm going to start swapping out the reels with Coldwater's.

Myself its Diawa LC 27's- not to big, but not to small.(easy for all sizes to handle) Rods are a Med. Light 7'6" accudepth diawa. Seem to work fine-
BUT what i did over the years as my boats got bigger along with rod holders, I added rods to accomidate space and fisherman...seems like even though I ordered the same model and style THEY pull/read slightly different-WHICH will act as if your dragging a little fish, but sometimes isnt the case!!!
If I had to do it again, I know $$$$ is always a factor- but I would buy every rod an reel at the same time- along with a extra in case one gets broken.

7' ml Shimano talora rods with Diawa 27LCA's. Used 7' Ugly Stix cal1100 in past.
