Spoon trolling rods?

[Capt.Yasar]

Looking to buy spoon trolling rods/reels. Any suggestions are much appreciated. I'm thinking of around 8ft length medium or fast action. No idea about which make/model.

The three brands of spoon rods that I recommend and sell are: Tony Maja, Seeker, and Profile. All three have the right action for spoons. The Maja is the softest. As for reels, my number seller is the Shimano Tekota 800 followed by the Penn Fathom 60LW and then the Penn 113H2SP. Stop by the shop and we can show you everything and answer all of your questions.

I like the Seeker but if you are looking to not splurge then check out Tsunami. They make with carboloy guides if you are thinking of wire.

[Dave A]

In my opinion, the Tsunamis are better suited for trolling umbrella rigs. They are on the stiff side for spoons.

Bogan rods are nice and the butts come off for storage

Tony Majas rods are perfect for spoonin' , they have a
Good taper for pullin spoons .
I had custom rods built about 15 years ago & proved to be al
Ost exactly like Ztonys rods!
I've had over forty years into dpoonin' & taper is very important especially on smaller boats that are slowed by swells !

A pair of good rods and reels will go between $700-900. You should compare carefully

Thanks folks for all the good suggestions. Went to expo today and I ended up buying Tony Maja spoon rods and paired them with tekota 700LC (line counter) reels. Spooled up with 80lb braid and a 15ft mono @ end. Got some other "stuff" from expo. I'm ready for Stripers;-)
