A friend and I are planning getting into fly fishing for musky this fall. He has a 10 wt Xi2 that he is planning to use. I don't have any rods that big. I'm looking for recommendations on a rod. I'm thinking 10 wt is probably the ticket.


As far as price, I can probably do <$400. I've built several rods, so I have actually planned on going that route to potentially save a bit of money.


Let me know what y'all have had experience with, and would you would recommend.
