The Eyecon Trolling series is based on walleye trolling from the Great Lakes to mid-continent reservoirs. It handles crawler harness and crankbait presentations at depths from 8 to 20-plus feet, trolling speeds of roughly 0.9–2.5 mph. Target angler is the dedicated walleye troller who runs multiple planer board or side-planer setups and needs a rod that loads crank vibration without telegraphing false bites. Blanks combine SCII carbon with 100% linear S-glass for a moderate action that protects light hooks on hardware rigs while still transmitting tick bites at slower speeds.
Kigan Master Hand 3D guides manage line on the long sweeps; a Fuji TCS reel seat locks conventional line-counter reels firmly. Two-coat Flex-Coat finish. All five models share M power and M action with a 10–20 lb line rating, the lineup is deliberately uniform in power, differing only in length for situational fit. Five spinning models span 5' to 10', all M/M. The 5' rod works inside the boat for side-planers or short-line setups; 7', 7'6", and 8'6" are the standard planer-board lengths; the 10' model handles weedline contour trolling where distance from the boat matters.
Casting or heavy-duty models, this series does not address jigging or deep-water downrigger applications is absent.
Deeper Dive
A closer look at notable models.
Shortest model in the lineup. Used for close-range side-planer or short-line trolling where rod length would be a hindrance. Manages strike detection at the rod tip when fish are running close to the boat.
Longest model, 2-piece construction. The extended reach pulls lures wide off weedline edges or contour turns, reducing boat-spooking on clear water. Designated by the '2' suffix as the only multi-piece option in the series.
