Tog Rod

[260SEAVEE]

Being the old salt I am and a somewhat newby to toggin, I coverted modified grahite 2 blanks like muskie rods made by st crroix, loomis anmd lamiglass, I hated trhe trigger grip reel seats, even went to supersensitive salmon steelhead blanks/ rods all with shortcommings, than I modified my trigger musky rods by extening the boat 6 - 12".
Still wasn't satisfied!!!!
Went to my 9" + surf fiberglass custom rods from the 80's ( yeah no BS)
stripped 'em down cut them to handle a 10-12 oz sinker with still a little bounce in the tip. Fish them 7 1/2 the 7 3/4' long with composite grips and coek tape in between. Simple strong conventional lile a Newel 220 or Squider 140/200 and 50 to 60 braid = Dynamite Tog Stic for me especially in the deeper stuff - can put the boots to them if needed still enough cushion not to rip the hooks when they are digging in
The muskie triggers still work for me in the inshore rocky areas with mono up tom 40'
depending on the current and conditions and the bite 30 - 60 # leader ;-0
