You guys talked me into the Cardiff, which I had already been looking at so it did not take much arm bending. Thanks again.
If you're going to Basspro, definitely look at the Pete Maina series rods too, along with the St Croix, and Basspro series rods. For the money, the Maina series are hard to beat. I've got their 6'6" jerkbait rod, and the 7'6" MH bucktail rod. Both have served me well so far.

As mentioned, consider joining up with Muskies Inc as well. There are plenty of upcoming outings that you are welcome to join in on, and get plenty of recommendations!
