Would this rod be suitable for trolling Lake Erie and Lake Ontario for Muskie and Salmon?

I don't know, we just used it fishing in a lake, catching bass and catfish. For that it worked great. I bought the 6'

its a great little rod but it probably couldn't take anything heavier than 6 pounds and its a little stiff but a great value, fun rod. i bought the smallest version.

Possibly the longest version would have the heft....but the boat will have to do some of the work landing anything over 20 lbs.

This rod is pretty light weight for trolling. It's a nice rod. But I thought it was going to a little stiffer.

Yes, it should work fine for that. I use mine for trout fishing. Have had it for about 6 mo. Seems to be very durable. The only complaint I have is sometimes one of the joints will stick a be a little hard to push in.

Absolutely. This is a great setup and I would recommend it to anyone for light to medium fresh water fishing.

Yes. Using mine (CP-DR-862M) for deep trolling Flathead Lake Montana (w/Okuma Convector 45D) for large (10-30 lb.) lake trout and BC offshore (w/Okuma Raw 463) for Chinook. The triangle front grip does fit a little snug in open type rod holders like Atwood Heavy Duty Pro Series. Fine for tube type rod holders off my downriggers. Like the action on the rod enough to buy a CP-DR-762ML for my middle rod on three rod planer spread for Kamloops (10-20 lbs.) on Kootenay Lake BC and Lake Koocanusa BC and Montana. For the price you can't go wrong. These are my go to rods for trolling over much more expensive rods on my boat.

I built my own mount for about $15 using two conduit pipes and two pieces of wood, rope, and hose clamps. Works great, and been trolling the lakes for the last few weeks catching bass. Let me know if you want more info.

It would be strong enough, but its a casting rod (10 feet long) so not really the right application for trolling which is typically much shorter and stiffer

After owning this reel for onr year now, I got hink it would be a very suitable reel for.that rod. And.the drag system is excelent. Espciaally when dealing with salmon or trout.

Like Capt Billy I use mine on downriggers for offshore king salmon and inland lake trout and kamloop fishing. 3 to 35+lb fish with up to 11" flashers and 4-6" spoons, hoochies and bait rigs work good. Not sure this is the best rod for smaller fish though.

I think it would really depend on how you mount it, Ive been using mine on a kayak and a 14foot john boat, if think that if you mounted the fish finder the way they show it in the picture on amazon it would work. It would also depend how wide the rails are on your boat. The mount is pretty flexable so I think you should be fine if you got it

I think you would be ok with it. I have never used one for walleye but I have never had any problems with it for bass fishing and I fish them a lot. Only problem I ever had was a bad handle and I just replaced it and was an easy fix. The drag is good and casts real smooth. I would use them for steelhead fishing in the rivers and think it would hold up just fine. I have fished the Black Max for northern largemouth bass in the state of Oregon for bass as big as 9lbs and use them in bass tournaments and again have had no problems other then one of my reels had a loose grip on the handle and I just replaced the handle for an easy fix. I hope this helps you out, good luck! I think you would be ok with it. I have never used one for walleye but I have never had any problems with it for bass fishing and I fish them a lot.

This will work fine. If you set your drag too high itll snap the rod easier than a better quality rod, but thats to be expected.

No this is more of a trolling / bottom fishing Rod. Great rod, just the application you are asking about is not for this rod. They do have other rods that would work however...

I bought the 11' rod for salt water surf casting. Personally, I would NOT want to use this rod for fresh water (constant) casting. It's a very nice rod, and if you are used to using one that size, you might like this one.

I use my reel for mostly jetty and surf fishing paired with a 9' rod with 15 pound braid. I think it would also work very well with a boat rod.

I would guess it depends on the size of the rods. Since I am a salmon fisherman, it definitely wouldn't work for me. Overall, I would not advise it.
