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.

Unfortunately it will not. It is designed to run deer feeders and I use it to run my fish finder and GPS unit on my kayak. It would not provide enough amps to run a troll motor and would run out of power almost immediately. It is designed more so for low amp uses as I cited above.

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.

I wouldn't. I bought several of them to take kids fishing, and a couple of them broke. I loved the concept of the Shakespeare rod, but I was disappointed.

I used this rod up in Alaska this past summer with a 2 ounce jig head. I tried some heavier lures, but they were too heavy. The rod handled 5-7lb black bass rockfish without issue. I was also able to bring in a 15lb lingcod with the rod.

i have never used that rod so i would not have any feedback for you. a sturdy lightweight rod with a sensitive tip should be fine.

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work for that. I use mine on my bass boat. It works great and I can be hooked up and ready to go fishing in no time now.

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

I would have to say yes, especially if you use a 30 to 50# braid and a good floro leader. Happy Fishing!

Not sure on Ocean trolling for Salmon, In Lake Trolling applications they work very well that is what they are made for.

Neither. It is a trolling rod, so it goes well with a trolling reel or a conventional reel.

Hi,Yes it should work fine with a trolling motor, HINT; Get a 7AH solar charger to lay next to it so you can extend the trolling time.Then you can plug it in for a good full charge.Very sturdy, very strong, Hope this helps

This rod is for inshore salt water application. I have it matched with daiwa 300 low profile reel for bottom fishing at Caribbean when we had no luck for trolling for marlin. Quite good for grouper. It is too heavy for bass fishing, I believe.

I gave mine to my brother in Washington, he uses this rod and combo catching salmon there in Washington he loves it. And Never had any problems with it..it is a okuma salmon trolling..

I don't know where you would mount it. I just ordered a couple telescoping oars to keep us en route on river float trips and paddle back into place on the lake. Three oars at thirty dollars is cheaper and easier than trying to mod a mount for your trolling motor. As taut as the float can get when inflated by an electric air pump, it still will not be rigid enough to provide the stability you will need.

It will work just fine! Keep in mind what you are fishing for and always balance your rod/reel with each other...

I would say yes I have a daiwoo electric 750 on it which in not small. I enjoy the rod for halibut fishing.
