fenwick telescoping eagle trolling rod 7'10"

any input on these rods for trolling churches walleye boards and cranks? do these have enough backbone for the load the walleye board puts on the rod? 

i got 6 of these rods and love them. couldnt be happier. a buddy of mine bought a set of them too after me. they have enough backbone but also arent stiff as a board.

I also run Cabelas Depthmaster trolling rods with Depthmaster line counter reels. Plenty of back bone for pulling boards for walleyes. I have 2 of the 8 1/2 foot teloscopping and 2 of the 6 1/2 or 7 2 piece for pulling boards. Both have a gentle tip for good hook sets and plenty of back bone for pulling in large fish. I then use cheap baitcaster setups for long lining. 6 lines is enough of a pain that I dont need to run anymore. I got the combos on sale for $50 this spring. Usual price is around $70 I believe. The drags are definitelly not top of the line and sometimes to let line out you have to make a half of a crank then flip the switch. For that money, who really cares. I did notice Cableas did not show the telescoping rods anymore which sucks for storage. I did however see them in store yesterday.

I am sure they would work.  The same cabela brand rod is on sale for $31.  They work great for pulling boards.  I have the 8'6 telescoping planer board rods.  love them.

yep. I fisher with walleye pro om lake erie and was inpressed and bough 8 and use them now for trolling crankbaits.  Not heavy enough for dipsies but good for cranks, weights, and crawler harnesses.
