I do not believe the Loomis 941's are being made anymore - they were an 8' one piece rod and while expensive, were one of the best walleye planer rods made. I personally went with Fenwick planer board rods as they were a telescoping model and would fit in my 7 ' rod locker and were easier to store at home, and have been totally satisfied with them. Also have a couple of Shimano Compre trolling rods that also work well, but are not as sensitive as my Fenwick models. Both of these sell for around $100.

I like 8'6" salmon/steelhead rods for trolling with the boards.
