Is the velocity rod a 1or2 piece rod?

After a trip to the local BP shop, I have decided on the 7’3” Velocity red/black rod and the Lexa 100 reels. Going to load them with 10’lb mono. Need to buy 4 ea. Any recommendations on where to order them? Thanks everyone for your help.

Now there is a thought. The boat has a bow mounted electric motor, I will need to see if it works. There is a deep cycle battery in the boat, I thought it was used just for starting the boat and the crappy depth finder. Do the bow mounted electric motors typically provide enough power to troll?

Did a rod comparison with the rods that I liked best...down to 2 rods. The Lamaglas CGR762L for $85 or the Velocity Team Kokanee for $80 (plus shipping). Both look like good rods. Any suggestions on which to pick and where to shop? Also thinking of 8lb mono....any thoughts on that?

Just checked out the Shuttle Hawke, for $14.95, it is the way to go. Thanks, you just saved me a lot of work trying to remember how I made them.

Didn’t see Striped Bass mentioned. Love any strain of salomnoids, perch, walleye, and about anything out of saltwater.

While I am a 36 year veteran, I can understand why a store might discontinue its on line military discounts as I have witnessed a lot of attempted abuse at my favorite gun store. As for Cabelas or Bass Pro, I typically use them to help me decide on the make and model I want to buy, then shop on...

While I am a real novice (beginner) at Kokanee, I have trolled a great deal for trout. I never use flashers as they really take away the fun of playing the fish. I do use a dodger and it has little effect. You don’t need a large dodger just something large enough to attract the fish and move...

Last fall my neighbor sold me his 1987 aluminum boat along with a Merc 35hp 2stroke motor. The motor has been in the shop twice for minor repairs and the last time it just died in the middle of the lake. Since my wife is just getting interested in fishing, another long paddling session might...

I used to have a lot of issues with starting motors in the Spring using ethanol gas. Switched 2 years ago to non ethanol and the problems went away. We have three stations in McCall ID that sell non ethanol.

I see a lot of videos expounding on the great attributes of Lamaglas but 2 broken rods make me Leary about investing $100 each in rods. How did they get broken?

I will take a look at it before I buy reels, not sure if BP has them in stock, guess I will just have to take 1/2 a day and go see. They do look like they would make great steelhead reels...did learn how to backtroll last fall and caught 2 25+Lb wild steelhead as well as a number of 10+Lb...

I looked at the Okuma reels on line. They look sweet but they look big for Kokanee and small trout, but then I am no expert and have never seen one up close. I did find a Bass pro shop within 2 hours of driving, guess I will have to make the drive and actually touch a few reels, tho the Lexa...

Thanks, I have had a boat (Ski) atbthe marina on Payette for years but never saw many fish caught. In fact, have caught some nice trout using lures along the sides of the dock at dusk. Mackinaw fishing in a couple of spots, but in spite of the many boats trolling the lake, havent seen any fish...

Which is better in a smaller boat? 7.5 or 7 ft? It seems that the 7,5 gives a little more rod to bend at the downriggers but a little harder to get the fish to the net if you are fishing alone. Any particular velocity rod? Also how do you feel about Lamaglas?

My boat is a very used aluminum 16' boat, so not wanting to go with an 8ft, rod if possible, as it can be a pain trying to net the fish. Thanks for the advice on the Lexa, will go with that one. I did own a spiral rod once and it was good for downrigger work, but not sure I want to go that way...

Any decent fishing in the McCall/Cascade Area? Trying to find something more local, thanks.

Currently wintering over in Hermosa Beach California (near LA) and planning on returning to home in Central Idaho (Payette Lake Area) in April. Going to give Kokanee a try this year. Have the down riggers, thanks to Christmas and the wife). Now I need rods and reels. For rods am trying to...
