Trolling Rods

Trolling rods are built to handle the unique demands of dragging baits or lures behind a moving boat, often at varied depths and speeds. Whether you’re trolling for striped bass, catfish, walleye, or saltwater species, this collection at Los Cazadores includes rods designed for heavy loads, steady resistance, and deep water pressure.

These rods are ideal for covering water efficiently while presenting lures in a controlled, consistent way—perfect for lakes, reservoirs, and coastal fishing.

Strength, Control, and Load-Bearing Design

Trolling rods feature slower actions and reinforced blanks that absorb shock while maintaining consistent pressure on fish. Many include heavy-duty line guides, extended handles for rod holders, and multi-piece construction for transport. Models vary in length and power based on species and target depth, and most are built to pair with conventional or trolling-specific reels.

FAQs

What makes trolling rods different from other rods?

Trolling rods are designed to flex deeply and stay loaded under constant pressure. They're stronger and slower in action than casting or spinning rods to handle the drag of trolling setups.

Can I use these for freshwater and saltwater?

Yes. Many trolling rods are built with corrosion-resistant components and work well for both large freshwater species and coastal saltwater trolling.

What rod length should I choose for trolling?

Lengths between 6'6" and 9' are common. Longer rods spread lines further from the boat and help with wide trolling spreads, while shorter rods offer better control.

What kind of reel should I pair with a trolling rod?

Conventional reels with line counters or high line capacity are ideal. Some setups may also use baitcasters for lighter freshwater trolling.

Are these rods good for planer boards or downriggers?

Yes. Most trolling rods are compatible with planer boards, lead core line, and downriggers. Just match the rod power and action to your trolling technique.
