    I’m looking for a new rod for walleyes. I don’t know if I want to spend the money and get a TUCR yet. Any suggestions on action/length/brands? I’m looking at the St Croix premier line but can’t find much feedback on them

    St. Croix is my choice. I was actually going to go to mills today and pick one up! They’re on sale too! I like the ML action and personally a longer rod 28″ or more

    I really like the Dave Genz split handle rod. Super sensitive and has a quick tip and plenty of backbone.

    once you go custom you will never go back. I ordered the tucr precision this season and let me tell you, this rod is unreal. I love it and I really have a tough time using my scheels rods or my st Croix rod.

    How do you order those tucr rods? I was looking on their website and you can pick a length and thread color but what about action?

    I can’t speak for the TUCR’s, but I can and will say I LOVE my St. Croix’s of all shapes and sizes! Hard or soft water. yay

    I own both tucr and and dh custom rods. I can say that both rods are great. I got the perch pounder from dh and it works awesome on walleye fishing with spoons and bigger jigs. The precision rod from tucr does the exact same thing at the same performance. I got it in 30″ wishing now that I got it 32-34 inches.

    This ice season I have been using TUCR both the precision and the power precision. While the precision will do the job for you the power precision will give you that little bit of extra strength that you may need when fishing larger walleyes or using heavier baits. Hope this helps you make a decision.

    I bought a st Croix yesterday just cause the price was right but this doesn’t mean I won’t buy a TUCR before the end of the season! They sound awesome and worth every bit of the money
