Hi All,
I don't mean to start a passionate discussion about who likes certain rods and who does not 🙂 ; just a newbie asking questions.
So, Cabelas are starting their pre-order of a few of their Depthmaster trolling rods. I am not a user of these rods, nor I am a fan nor an "anti-fan". I am sure just like any rod, there are its pros and cons. Specifically, what got me a little curious is that they have a 12-ft downrigging rod, model DM-DR-12M, $25 bucks. See the link below.
My questions are: anyone here is using these? What is so special in this 12-ft downrigging rod, i.e. why 12-ft? What would one use it for? If it has line rating of 8-20 lbs, does it mean that this rod will wobble a lot and feel like a light power rod? What could be its best use? I can see this being a reasonable bottom downrigger rod with let's say worm rig rod or perhaps a planer board rod (small walleye planers for lake Erie for example) with larger spread but... Just being curious.

Thank you for your time and attention!
