Eagle Claw Starfire X trolling combo’s. Any good ( enough )?

[matt167]

Anyone have any experience with them? 8’6 medium heavy with a line counter reel is $90 at Dicks sporting goods. Walmart has a similar rod and reel for same price but it’s probably built for WM as they do that. I’ve got to outfit my boat since I’ve never had a trolling boat myself and I need a couple more rods. My dad suggests a medium heavy with wire and a twilly to run dipsys. He doesn’t know what reel I should get that won’t break the bank as he likes Penn reels except he does not like his Penn line counters. He told me that most of my fish will be cought on dipsy’s

Finger lakes fishing. Lake trout. I do have down riggers and planers as well.
