Mr. Walleye Rods

[riverrat56]

Does anyone have any experience with Mr. Walleye Rods? They are reasonably priced and I have had great experiences with the three I own, (6'6" Medium Combo, 7' ML Combo and a 6'10" M baitcaster with a Abu 6500C4) , just wondering if anyone else uses them? I've only seem them for sale a few places.

I've used and/or tried two, 7' ML's over the course of the last two open water seasons and both have them have snapped in half on hooksets. Bad batch? I don't know but I will say I'm not rushing back to buy more.

Never tried them, really haven't heard much about them (good or bad).

I have two and like them. I did break one on opener last year, but that probably had more to do with me getting it mixed up in the cleat than its construction. oops

I bought the 7.2 SuperPro last spring. I use it strictly for slip bobbers. The first fish I caught with it was the 44 inch northern in my avatar. I didn't break. I like it for slip bobbers but I can't tell you how it works for anything else.

I have used the Medium and the baitcaster an awful lot last year and I abuse my stuff, they held up to it, I hope those ML's aren't a bad batch, mine doesn't even have line on it yet.....

On a side note, I did try to order a ML 7' last year from a local outfitter and he called and they told him they were unavalible, I wonder if there wasn't some problems with that first manufacturing of them and they pulled them off the shelves?

Love my Mr. Walleye 6' UL. Paired with a Pflueger reel, landed an 8# Northern - lots of fun, both worked perfectly.

In my opinino, decent rod for the price range it falls in.

How does a rod break on a hookset?!? I fish some of the cheapest junk in the world, and I've never ever ever broken a rod on a fish. And I fish the river, where I catch everything from 8# catfish to 25# carp and baby walleyes and rock bass. Half of these fish are caught on plastic lures where I'm not babying any hooksets, either. That must've been a bad batch, though I don't blame you for not buying anymore. Weird.

In both cases, I was riggin' on Mille Lacs and when I cranked down to the fish and set the hook, SNAP. I'm thinking a bad batch or simply bad luck. The rod had great feel but my confidence is not there based on what happened to me. Take it for what it's worth.

I have 2 6'6" med/light jigging rods and 3 of the telescoping trolling rods and for the price Im very satisfied with them.
