answer 1
Yes these tiger rods are what you want if your going after fish 5 to 30 lbs very tuff rod stainless eyelets be sure and select your action for the size fish your after the meduim light 12 to 30lbs has very good action even from a 1lb fish. The walleye can get pretty big I would use the meduim light action for walleye. You could use it for pan fishing if you wanted but I would select the light action for pan fish.

I would think most would find these rods a little overkill for walleye. Commonly used for big catfish or saltwater fish.

These rods are for conventional reels. The trigger is usually associated with baitcasting reels.

No item number 38-133-698-00 does not have a trigger. Most big water rods are not designed with the trigger.

A casting rod has a trigger on the handle and requires a baitcast reel, which sits on top of the rod. Spinning rods have no trigger and require a spinning reel, which is mounted under the rod.

Question

about the guides?

My question is: I read where the guides are Stainless Steel. How will they stand up to braided super lines? I know from years past the braided lines will cut into metal guides and ruin them.....Thank for any ideas on this.

I use mono line on this rod and even that is wearing down the guides. I would replace the tip top with a Fuji Hardloy.
