Rod Comparison

[Scholly]

I apologize in advance if this has been talked about.  If it has, please direct me to it.

I am looking into getting another rod for lake trout fishing.  I currently have a St Croix Premeire 32" (I created a longer handle for it, since it doesn't really come with one) and a Clam Dave Genz 34" H.  I would like to try some of the rods out there that are a liitle longer.  The three i have been curious about are the Clam Dave Genz Split Handle 40" H, Clam Jason Mitchell Mackinaw 38" MH, and the Wright & McGill Power Ice Max Ice Rod 50" H.

I know there are better options out there with custom builds and places like Thorne Brothers.  I really want to know what people think of these rods that i listed.  This rod will also get used for jigging for pike.

Thanks for any advice.

I've seen the Genz split grips and JM Mackinaws in action for lakers and pike and I am very impressed with both.  The split grips may seem a bit odd on the Genz, but I thought it balanced out the rod and reels very comfortably.  Either of those would be good ones to try.

thanks for the input.  I need to find a store that has both of those in stock now.
