Guest FreshwaterFisherman Report post Posted January 22, 2009 Well I received $200.00 in gift certificates for D&R at christmas and am looking to buy a new rod and reel. Any recommendations? The rod will be mostly for pike and bass. I am an avid fan of pfleuger reels but may decide to try something else if theres some good reviews on another brand of reel. As for the rod I am open to suggestions but would prefer to stick with a medium action in the 6 1/2-7 1/2' length. Brodie K. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest FreshwaterFisherman Report post Posted January 23, 2009 What are the specs on the walleye classic? As well whats the price tag on it? Will it still be a decent rod for bass and hows the backbone on since i do quite often fish for pike. Brodie K. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buck 120 32 Report post Posted January 23, 2009 You can check the specs on it at www.fenwickfishing.com/. Prices are all over the net, cabelas, etc. $59-$64 usd for the Eagle GT and I think I paid around $120 for the walleye classic at DNR but that was a few years ago. I bought both my Eagle GT and my wife's walleye classic at DNR. Try calling DNR. Roger may know off the top of his head. Quote Not just a 3 month season but a 12 month obsession!!!
