Custom Musky Rods
One of the most exciting yet frustrating fish to chase is a Muskie! They call them the fish of 10,000 casts, so you better have a well-balanced custom rod to be sure you do not tire before that explosive strike. Join Chris and Hunter as they break down exactly what you need to build the baddest muskie rod on the water! Watch LIVE as we build a handle section, discuss reel placement and setup a guide set worthy of these fierce boatside battles. Don’t miss out on this episode even if you do not target muskie, there will be valuable tips for those who build everything from heavy freshwater to nearshore saltwater rods!
