Anyone???? It's suppose to be "good" deal...not "god" deal.

By the way, its the blank for the XCF 862 Certified Pro Fiberglass. What makes a good plug trolling rod anyway?

A tip that will allow a plug to dive deep and that is easy to read to see what the plug is doing. A good backbone to fight the bigger fish. Graphite rods will have a mag tapper and glass rods are also good for plugging. I use the xfc 802s for pulling plugs and i love em. Id say that 862 is a decent rod for what your doing. 8'6" is good for a lake or saltwater boat. Alittle heavy action wise for the smaller fish tho.
