I’ve been fishing lake sturgeon in the St. Clair River & Detroit for 5 seasons now. I’ve been using my musky rods (8’ to 9’ MH & Hvy) but next season I want to have rods that I just use for sturgeon. Can anyone recommend some rods for lake sturgeon? In Michigan we are allowed to use 3 rods per angler so when I’m anchored in the river I’ll have 2 rods in rods holders with one off the back & the other off the side. The third rod I cast out a ways & hold the rod in my hand most of the time. I generally have the rods rigged with 5 oz. to 8 oz. weights but sometimes will have up to a pound to cast off to the side of the boat to keep it from being pulled behind the boat by the current.
Thanks
