Cal's Leadcore Trolling Rod is designed from the blank up for the unique mechanical demands of multi-color leadcore trolling, a discipline that punishes rods built for other techniques. The 6'6" two-piece medium action HD composite glass blank absorbs the shock of strikes at speed without sacrificing the tip sensitivity needed to detect bottom changes and subtle bites at depth, and it stays light enough to fish comfortably across a full day on the water. Stainless steel guide frames with aluminum oxide inserts handle leadcore line's abrasion without wear-through, and the ergonomic handle length balances naturally in a rod holder or fighting grip. Pairs perfectly with the Catch America Rigged Hybrid Leadcore Reel for a complete lead core rod and reel combo.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Cal's Leadcore Trolling Rod built for?
This rod is designed for trolling leadcore line for trout, kokanee, and landlocked salmon. Max from Catch America fished it at Shaver Lake and landed a personal-best 4.5 pound rainbow. The action loads on the troll and cushions headshakes so fish stay pinned on light leaders.
How do I fish leadcore with this rod?
Let out leadcore in colors to set your depth, since each color sinks the lure deeper. At Shaver Lake, Max ran one, two, and three colors to spread a shallow band and find trout holding 5 to 15 feet down. Troll a dodger and spinner behind it.
How deep does leadcore reach on this rod?
Depth depends on how many colors you release. A hybrid leadcore setup like this works the top 15 feet or so, ideal when trout push shallow in cool water. Max spread his lures across one to three colors at Shaver Lake to cover fish sitting near the surface.
What can I catch with Cal's Leadcore Trolling Rod?
It handles trout, kokanee, and landlocked salmon on the troll. Max fished it through winter at Shaver Lake for rainbows up to a personal-best 4.5 pounds, running Uncle Larry's Double Trouble spinners and hoochies scented with WD80. The forgiving tip protects light leaders during the fight.
What do I run behind Cal's Leadcore Trolling Rod?
Pair it with the UV Kokanee & Trout Dodger. Max fished this rod with a dodger and Uncle Larry's spinners at Shaver Lake, slow trolling for rainbows. Set the dodger a couple feet ahead of a scented spinner or hoochie, then let leadcore carry the rig to depth.
