Fox River 8' 6" 2-Piece Trolling Rod | Medium Heavy

Dominate the open water with a legend. The Fox River Trolling Rod has been a staple in the boats of serious anglers since day one, earning its reputation through relentless reliability and performance. Whether you are grinding out a tournament or enjoying a weekend on the water, this rod is engineered to be the heavy-duty backbone of your trolling spread.

Built for Strength and Sensitivity

At the core of this rod is a 30 Ton high modulus graphite blank. This premium construction strikes the perfect balance between featherlight sensitivity and the raw lifting power required to land trophy fish. Unlike heavier, sluggish fiberglass alternatives, the Fox River graphite blank recovers quickly and transmits every vibration, ensuring you know exactly how your lure is tracking even under heavy tension.

Pro-Grade Components

  • Custom Shrink X Handles: Wrapped over comfortable EVA foam, these handles provide a non-slip grip that slides easily in and out of rod holders while standing up to the abuse of heavy spray and slime.

  • Pac Bay Guides: Equipped with ultra-smooth Zirconia rings, these guides minimize friction and heat buildup, protecting your line during blistering runs and ensuring long-term durability with heavy braided or lead core lines.

  • Two-Piece Design: Get the reach of an 8' 6" powerhouse with the transport convenience of a much smaller rod. Perfect for compact storage in vehicle trunks or boat rod lockers.

Versatile Trolling Performance

This rod is a true multi-tool for the modern troller. The medium action is specifically calibrated to handle the most effective big-water techniques:

  • Planer Boards: The tip provides enough give to soak up wave surge without prematurely tripping your boards.

  • Lead Core: Built to handle the extra weight and strain of heavy weighted lines.

  • Flatlining: Perfect for deep-diving cranks and high-speed runs where extra backbone is required.
