My buddy is a prostaff for Vexan and he got me a deal on their rods. I ordered the big/fish pike rod which is the heaviest rod they have. Its 32". I bought it for lakers and for pike and big walleye with my new Ifish Pro. Unfortunately I got skunked laker fishing last week and havent been out since so I cant comment on the rods performance yet but my buddy has caught some nice walleyes with his bigfish/pike rod including a fat 29.5" and he said the rod handled it great. I video taped the battle actually.
