The St Croix Triumph is in the range you are looking for, although I'm not sure the requirements needed to troll for musky. Also Okuma make a musky rod that I think is in that price range, but for the life of me I can't remember what it is like. I will be in the store tomorrow (boat in the shop-no fishing) if you want to give me a call

Ive used a StCroix Premier 7' for a few years now, works great for trolling all except th e really big baits. The Triumph by StCroix is effectively a Premier but assembled in asia. I think a Triumph would suit your needs nicely.

Does this mean we can finally get to do some trolling "Mr. Can we do a little castin'"?

You might want to check out Bass Pro Shop.
I have two of these combos and they suit my muskie needs just fine.
Bass Pro Shops® Pete Maina Signature Series Baitcast Rod and Reel Combo

You can get them for $149
Another nice thing is that you can mix and match them with different rods for different purposes.

Thanks for all the info on the rod. I currently have two compre's and did not know if anything else for the price would be better for trolling.

Thanks Ed. (Paddletales Tackle) I can't wait to try the new rod.
