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

  • E-glass rods are heavier than graphite alternatives
  • Full-length fore and rear grips reduce adjustability on the reel seat
