My favorite walleye rod is a Thorne Walleye II. I know it's not the best they have but it's my personal favorite. It's 28" and it's hollow graphite. Very sensitive. I also like the solid graphite rods. Galyans has a good assortment for a real fair price under $20. They have a 24" and a 28" that are sweet. You see the same rods with different names (YAD comes to mind.) I have both. I have many different reels but what you want is one with a good reliable drag system. If I buy anything this winter, it'll be a 25 series Pinnacle. Just the right size for me. .......T

My favorate 2 rods were both made by "Rods by ENGEL", made to order and they are sweet.

Rod does a superb job on ice rods, fuji guides and seats, top choice blanks, the wrapes are smooth as glass, a work of art really.

If you need a rod built just for you I highly recomend you give him a buzz. If you do not know just exactly what you want he can talk you through it and you will end up with that rod of your dreams.

Keepandeat,I got a sweet little setup LSIS26M-R Genz rod with a Zebco OMEGA-144 reel, classic reel.No bail to open just pull the trigger and let the lure drop right on the target.Outstanding little setup.And for panfish I use the HT polar lite 31 inch noodle with HT masterpiece 1750S.I use 2 and 3 pound test Berkley cold weather line on them. love the stuff.And a South bend ML-203 30 inch with a Quantum XL00S3 XTRALITE-reel another sweet set up.Hope this gives someone a good Idea on what to go for.Inexspensive to boot! ><sUMo>-----><> This weather su-ks!!

If im fishing northerns. Medium action 28in ugly stick spinning with a quantum ultra-lite reel with 8lb fireline micro-ice. Walleyes, medium light 24-28in ht rod, woodsman series normally, with a abu ultra-lite reel and 6lb fireline micro ice. Sunnies and crappies. 18in light action HT rod with a okuma ultra-lite reel. Now for micro-lite rods. I own a ht and its alright, okuma ultra-lite spinning reel. I believe they carry 2 different models. South bend makes some nice ones if you can find them. Thorne bros also carry one. My next will also be a "Rod by Engel"
