[QUOTE="Ristorapper, post: 48896, member: 810"] I have the 5.5 and 10 foot Scheels rods that work well to set up a good spread. I used the heck out of my walleye angler (Bass Pro shop) 8'6'' telescoping rods when alone pulling cranks. And do have some stiff Cabelas (broom sticks I call 'em) rods for pulling cranks next to the boat with 3-8 ounce mini balls on 'em(three guys in the boat tourney fishing w/ 6 rods in the water). They all work very well depending on how I wanna go after 'em. I can tell you the other Cabelas downrigger trolling rods (for salmon fishing) I do have are a little wimpy for pulling cranks for walleye in my opinions so I'd stay away from those if you are looking for one rod to fish both species. In my experience I'd go with the 8'6'' Walleye Angler rods and I'm sure Scheels would have something nice for both species in the same length. That is for long lining both not downrigging for 'em. I've never used downriggers with my equipment but have been out with a buddy that does use downrigger rods specifically with his downriggers. [/QUOTE]
