Pups are always fun but for this post I'm looking for rod info for those deeper chunkier fish. As you said 40-48" rods with more backbone than those generally made for trout/panfish. Any specific brands/models come to mind?
I'd like to try some of the coated braid ice lines as they are supposed to resist water absorption and freezing but most I've seen only come in 50-75 yard spools. Tieing splices in line I'm hoping to fight a 20+lb fish on doesn't seem optimal. If anyone knows of a brand that sells larger spools of ice braid I'd love that info too.
