Quick take
An e-glass trolling rod rated for walleye and trout on lines up to 20 lb.
This 7.5 foot, two-piece trolling rod is the Lake Trolling model in Okuma's Classic Pro GLT line. It has a medium power and a moderate-fast action, matched to 12 to 20 pound line. It suits anglers trolling for walleye, trout, bass and pike with downriggers, diving disks or leadcore setups.
Best for
- Trolling crankbaits and spinners behind a boat
- Walleye trolling with live bait
- Trolling from the bow with a downrigger
Skip if
- You need a sensitive rod for detecting light strikes
- You plan to cast; a casting rod is more practical
Strengths
- E-glass blank flexes to absorb shock and reduce line breakage
- Tip-over-butt ferrule adds durability at the connection
- Hooded reel seat provides stability in rough water
Trade-offs
