Limit Creek Smoothie


Recommended Posts

I am looking for a new walleye rod. I probably bobber fish 80% of the time and live bait rig the other 20%. I have like the longer rods for panfish, but my current walleye set up is a 6'6". I am really interested in the 8'3" rod that can be slid into the cork handle to make it 6'4".

Anyone have one of those or use Limit Creeks in general?

Thanks for any info.

I have the Limit Creek rod that slides into the rod handle. It is an awesome bobber fishing rod. I have used it for rigging but prefer the smoothie or my St. Croix's for that. Limit Creek's are great rods for the money.

I have 2 of theose 8'3" telescopic rods. They are fantasic if you are looking for a longer rod. I once landed a 9.74 walleye on one! THis is basically a long version of the 6'9" "Smoothie". The Smoothie is great all around rod. Live bait to jigs it can do it all! This spring I finally added 2 6'6" mediums to my arsenal and they too are good all purpose rods.

The limit creek rod co. lcse83mlf is a wicked slip bobber rod. It is also the best casting light to medium crankbaits rod I have ever used. Here is why... the tip has a way of keeping the cranks stuck in the fishes mouth upon strike, as you know fish really come unbuttoned on cast cranks, just the way it is...you will still loose some fish but it brings fish to the net better than any I know of.

Plus the extra length helps bomb casts. Casting cranks across rock piles/reefs at night breaks up a slower bobber night and can land some better fish when you use a speed straight retrieve that turns lookers into strikers.

So the rod you were asking about is deadly from an anchored position for both the slip bobber and the casting cranks.

Keep catchin'

Several years ago started to purchase ONLY Limit Creek Rods. The 8'3" is my second favorite next to my smoothie. It's a great bobber rod and has been my go to on lakes like Mille Lacs where you need that long snell. You would be very happy with this rod for what you want it for and will find even more uses for it.

    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
    • We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity. 
    • I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
