Elk River Rods ERX 8' Heavy Musky Trolling RodAdvanced E Glass blank provides a soft enough tip to "read" a lures action while trolling, and great for reading what a sucker is doing and picking up slack without a fish dropping the bait. This version has a little more powerful tip than their old Heavy model. The advanced slightly faster taper delivers great hook set power. High density EVA grips to hold up to rod holders with new scale pattern flock over for a great grip. Twilight thread wrap
