I have 2 suggestions 1. Blood Run Fishing trolling Rods Love these rods. My boat is literally loaded with them. They were designed specifically for what we do and have more of a "custom" rod feel. I would invite you to the boat to check them out. https://bloodrunfishing.com/collections/rods 2. Okuma Coldwater series I was a huge fan of the Okuma White Diamond series however they discontinued the line. However, when they did that they redesigned the Okuma Coldwater series and now they are by far my favorite Okuma trolling rod series. I tested these last year for Okuma and I actually think these are a step up from the White Diamonds. They have you covered for everything you need. https://www.fishusa.com/Okuma-Coldwater-Custom-Trolling-Rod/

All the above... My preference for inside of 15 fow is a mix of shallow sticks and small spoons

I need some dates! If anyone has links to updates for 2026 let me know!

I have been a strict Okuma guy for almost 20 tears. THe only compliment I will give is to the Saltist. I think its a great reel and it gets a nod but that's where it stops for me. I think Okuma has you covered on every application from small early season brown trout reels all the way to a 800 copper reel. The Convector series is bulletproof and just a heads up both the Convector and the Cold Water series have had redesigns in the past 2 seasons. IMO looks were improved and some mechanical items were upgraded but more importantly the drags are now great out of the box. Heres a list of what im using big coppers= Solterra SLX coppers and cores= Convector high speed 30 and 45 series bigger coppers= 55 series standard retrieve not High speed riggers =Coldwater CW-30DHA divers= Coldwater CW-30DHA Feel free to reach out

Greetings fellow anglers: Captains Casey and Rob will be back again and joining us this year is Captain Rick for the 2026 East End Salmon and Trout School. Together, they have over 90 years of experience, countless tournament wins and top 5 finishes. Their experience and knowledge is lake-wide and extensive. This year, we will break the school down in to 2 days to allow us to cover a wide range of topics and species. Many anglers had an interest in learning how to be more successful at catching fish in general, not just king salmon. That Sunday class will focus on multi species fishing and tactics. Keep it as local as it gets! The 3 named Captain's are teaching you based on their experience and conditions on about Lake Ontario, after all you fish Lake Ontario as well. They have a vast amount of experience from east to west and north to south on Ontario. This value cannot be matched from captains from other Great Lakes. The Great Lakes Trolling School is open to beginners, seasoned and professional anglers. The primary focus will be location, tactics, lure choice, programs, your mindset and how varying conditions play into our decisions. Our intention is to help you become a better overall angler, make you think about your decisions, and share our many years of Great Lakes experience. Captain Casey Prisco, Captain Rob Westcott, and Captain Rick Hajecki bring over 90 years of combined experience on Lake Ontario and look forward to sharing their knowledge with you. Those that attended last year, know that we did not hold back any information.
