TWO BROTHERS FISHING WALLEYE TROLLING ROD
The 2B-WTR86MH-M is a highly versatile, "all-purpose" tool designed for the serious walleye troller. Part of the 2B Genesis series, this carbon-blank rod is engineered to be a workhorse in any spread, capable of transitioning seamlessly from running planer boards to pulling flatlines. It balances the "forgiving" nature needed for trolling with the lightweight responsiveness of carbon construction.
Key Performance Features
- High-Performance Carbon Blank: Unlike traditional fiberglass trolling rods that can feel "mushy" or heavy, this model utilizes a carbon fiber blank. This provides a significantly lighter feel in the hand and increased sensitivity, allowing you to monitor the "thump" of your crankbait or detect if your lure has picked up debris.
- Telescoping Design: Despite its 8’6" length, the rod features a telescoping butt section. This allows the rod to shrink down to fit into standard boat rod lockers, solving the storage headache often associated with long trolling sticks while maintaining a solid, 1-piece feel when extended.
- Moderate Action / Medium-Heavy Power:
- Moderate Action: The "beautiful" moderate bend is critical for trolling. It allows the rod to load up deeply when a fish strikes at high speed, acting as a shock absorber to prevent hooks from pulling out of a walleye's soft mouth.
- Medium-Heavy Power: Provides the "backbone" necessary to handle the resistance of large planer boards and the heavy weight of lead core line without the rod "folding" under the pressure.
- Trolling Versatility: This rod is specifically tuned to be "well-rounded." It is stiff enough to stay true in a planer board spread but soft enough in the tip to be used for flatlining crankbaits or pulling crawler harnesses.
- Technique-Specific Components: Outfitted with durable guides and a handle configuration designed for easy entry and exit from rod holders, ensuring efficiency during a busy bite.
