I just bought a 7 foot fenwick muskie rod with a Abu Ambassadeur 6600 SSC3 Series
reel. Is this a good combination?

Ok, just got home and checked out the exact specs and here it is. The rod is a
Fenwich TechnaAV AVC70MHMC 1 piece muskie rod with a Abu Ambassadeur 6600 SSC3 Series reel. So far, everythings been smooth and I have YET to catch a fish with.

Funny story is, About 2 weeks ago, I was on the St. Croix and I had put the Fenwick away and was trolling with my 7ft Ugly Stick spinning rod with a Spider Cast spinning reel. I managed to land a 36" northern with that cheap rod and reel. :::shrugs::: I guess you don't really have to have a really expensive setup to catch fish.

Thomas,
How long have you had your setup?

Yep. I did a lot of muskie reel snooping a while ago and for sklunge fishing the C3 is considered a great buy by almost all I spoke with. Without knowing anything about the rod you bought other than length and company, I can only say it's a decent length for getting started. You should be in good shape.

Watch out or before you know it you'll be like me- three custom made rods, new reels, and a ton of muskie lures to boot! grin.gif

Well, muskie fishing is new to me so I went into Joes sporting goods and asked them to set me up with a new muskie rig with a budget of only 400.00 =/ they put together the rod "lifetime over the counter warranty", the reel, power pro line, alot of lures and accessories. My wife is giving me the "Oh my gosh" look already.

Now, all I need is a BOAT to chase the muskies!!

      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.

      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.
