rod?

[knotknot]

Have caught just about everything else but am new to musky fishing. Due to limited funds and my addiction to walleye trolling tackle I am limited to the rods I currently have for musky trolling. I have 2 options either my dipsy rods with 30lb mono or my ocean 7ft 30-60 ugly sticks with shimano TLD 20's and 50lb mono. Do you think either of these will suffice??

Go with 80 lbs braid with 120 floro leaders

Used to use mono for muskie prior to braid and caught fish. You will want to use a stiffer rod. Braid is the way to go with 24-36" steel, titanium, or floro leader. Good luck.

For trolling I'd imagine your saltwater rods will work fine

Use the Ocean 7 ft Ugly Sticks, but replace the 50 lb Mono with 80 lb power braid and either wire leaders or 80 lb fluorocarbon leaders.If your going to use the 50 lb Mono flat line trolling you will need to add a 1/2 lb ball weight at the swivel between leader and main line to get depth,50 lb Mono will be hard to get depth with crankbaits by itself.
