If you're getting a musky rod, get the St. Croix mojo Musky. the best rod I've had for musky. I also have a st. croix mojo bass. I kayak fish a lot mostly spend my time in Whitby harbor kayak fishing for pike or rice lake. biggest bass I pulled out of whitby harbor is a lunky 5lb but Pike I had a 15lb. 2 weeks ago out of frenchman's bay pickering.
