Awesome rod builder

[Matt1121]

Steve, your funny.

I thought about building my rod but knew I would screw it up, so I took it to my new friend YOSHI.

Does anybody have any suggestions for a good off-the-shelf but not super expensive trolling wire line rod? I picked up a Penn Master Mariner trolling reel for $15 at a garage sale and I want to spool it with wire, so I can drag shad rigs and tubes deep in the Merrimack.

Eventually, I'll get a downrigger but for now I need a wire line trolling setup.
