Customer photo review of Lake Trout/Salmon Jigging Rod

Ken O.

Excellent rod. Great company to work with and very responsive. If you want a dedicated rod for jigging lake trout this is the one. Also if you contact them you can get a custom build on this lake trout jigging blank. Also if anyone’s curious the 7’ rod has a total of about 21 1/2 inches of handle. The long handle is nice for extended battles and with that much handle the rod fishes like a shorter rod. It’s absolutely perfect.

I would like to thank Pat and the gang for an amazing build! The Medium light has become my favorite. It handled the head shakes on this 29.5" monster. Please give Mags a try you won't be disappointed! Thanks for helping me get my new personal best walleye!

First time ever jigging for lake trout on Grand Traverse Bay. Used a buddy's set up which was the Mags 7'10" M/H trout/salmon rod. Caught a 32-inch laker & the rod managed the fish with ease. Ordered my own rod the following day!

I own couple of Mags power noodles I have been super impressed with. I found this rod in the bad ass build section. Purchased the rod and its first outing was at Burt Lake and then on to Drummond Island after Perch. Just like my other Mags rods, this one did not disappoint. Pairing this rod with a Diawa Legalis reel make this a really enjoyable, sensitive combo. My only regret is not buying one sooner. At least Ice season is right around the corner. Keep up the great work Mags Team!!

My first trip out to a lake at 10280 feet here in Colorado was a huge success, what a difference a custom rod feels in your hands compared to cheaper rod, with the all carbon rod,I could feel the bite clear down to my hand, I could not be happier with my purchase

After moving to the Northwoods a few years ago I realized how important shopping local is. So I searched and found Mags Custom Rods just a couple hours away. Speedy shipping and I’m quite certain the customer service is top notch. Paired the carbon medium rod with a SeVIIn GS reel, excited to put her to work!

I had some ideas for another shore jigging rod. The guys at Mags took every idea into consideration and made it happen. Beautiful rod and the 7ft medium fast action is perfect for shore jigging the Detroit river , thanks again guys!

Got to use my new Carbon ice rod on the hardtop this last weekend. I absolutely love it!!! Hard to pick between it and the other Mags custom noodles I have. I had no issues with it in the flip over or hole hopping chasing crappie. Definitely recommend MAGS custom rods!

This rod has a strong enough backbone to handle bigger panfish extremely smooth while having a sensitive enough tip to detect the smallest bites when the fish are finicky. The rod is great quality the grip feels very comfortable I will be buying more of these rods in the future.

When these were released, I knew I had to try a couple for my Lake Erie trip. They were excellent for throwing Jigging Raps, Finishers, and Heavy Jigs with Crawlers in Deep Water. Shortly after, I took them to Green Bay, with the same great results throwing Shiver Minnows and Spoons. The Extra-Fast tip really gives these baits a popping action and sensitivity that is unmatched!

Pulled the trigger on a 7ft medium action spinning rod. The people at mags were more then happy to accommodate my special requests and knocked this rod out of the park. Killer cork handle and details throughout. The rod performed beautifully, so much so , I put my st croix down for the night. Extremely light comfortable, perfectly balanced and great sensitivity. A+

Love this rod. Twice I have fished Detroit River and the 6’2” was the perfect stick. Super sensitive, lightweight, and well balanced ! Use this rod over my $400 rod that is now the back up and ordered another mags !!

This is my second custom build with Mags and the rod turned out great. The Mags team worked with me and built this as a custom bait casting rod. It’s super lightweight and I love the soft feel of the reel seat and the Mags grips. I paired it up with a Team Lews Hyper Mag reel, so it’s a very lightweight combo that will allow me to fish all day with little to no fatigue.

Awesome looking rod. Can't wait to get out on the ice with it. I bought a power noodle last year and it's amazing. Excited to see the new rod in action.

I own several mags rods ice and summer rods. Their quality never ceases to amaze me. Their bottom bouncer rod is by far the best rod for the technique on the market. It is extremely light and has the perfect tip to detect the slightest bites while having the back bone to handle bigger fish.

I’m super pleased with the rod. The cork grip is beautiful, and the wraps are top notch!! I love the action, it is perfect for bream, crappie and trout down here in the south. Great job on the rod!

Custom Panfish Rod

Tony L.

Since purchasing 4 of the 7’-6” medium / fast with eyelets for level wind reels, unbelievable performance over the Great Lakes system rods. It is my belief that not only can you use these for trowling but they are really balanced for jigging also. So much so that I would like to order two more of the same as the original order !

Pat and MAGS rods are legit! The MAGS medium is a great rod for the Winnebago system! Soft enough tip to detect a little biting perch to enough backbone to bring Bago eyes topside!

This is my 3rd power noodle and 7th mags ice rod. The quality of these rods is amazing especially for them price point and the turn around time. This is a phenomenal panfish rod for small jigs and even small spoons.

Quality rod love the collaboration with Eskimo. 32 inch power noodle awesome sensitivity with the perfect backbone. Excellent rod for tungsten jigs and 1/16 once spoons. Great panfish rod but can handle the occasional walleye or bass. I will be back to purchase a custom walleye rod in future thanks mags Custom rods

One of my many mags jigging rods, absolutely one of the best jogging rods money can buy today. A lot of my clients would agree on how sensitive and strong ( not to mention cool looking ) they are

I loved the medium action so much I had to order second one for the upcoming season. This rod is the perfect all round walleye rod. Perfect power and action for putting walleyes top side! The quality and craftsmanship of this rod is phenomenal!

Asked for Vikings theme as this will be a Xmas gift. Hit it out of the park, turned out awesome. My brief rod loading showed perfect parabolic curve for bottom bouncing as described.

Customer photo review of Custom Musky Telescopic Rod

Mark W.

This musky telescoping rod was my first MAGS purchase. I have several other rods from major manufacturers but this has become my go to rod. I just got back from Eagle Lake. I caught 5, all on the Mags rod. This fish 46" was caught in the 8, the rod had great backbone, was light enough to cast all day, and loaded beautiful on hook set. I casted everything from a bucktail, topwater, and a swim bait. I'm ordering another one immediately.

Cody W.

Have tried many different musky rod brands and lengths. The 9' 6" heavy fast is the best on the market. Makes for easy casts and enough flex in the rod to help fight the fish 10/10!

I purchased the MAGS PANFISH 7’ rod last week before vacation. We are up in the U.P. now and this is my favorite panfish pole that I have owned. It has nice sensitivity and bend to enjoy the panfish catch. I caught a couple walleyes on it also and it had enough power to drag these in. Highly recommended!

I have been fishing with my new 28inch Mags noodle rod several times since it arrived last week. Fishing a small tungsten jig with wax worms or minnow tails. I really like the sensitivity of this rod and it’s handled walleye up to 20 inches. I love the larger eyelets on the rod. It’s an exceptional fishing tool.

Custom Power Noodle

Joe M.

I finally had the chance to get on the ice and give it a go. I got into a mess of smaller panfish, and a nice sized rainbow. The rod was sensitive enough to feel the light bites of the panfish and plenty strong enough for the feisty rainbow. As expected, the power noodle is another quality MAGS product.

After breaking my blood run for the 8th time I said it was enough ended up buying this ride and absolutely love it. Handles all fish extremely well. Can’t wait to get on some kings this fall.

Love the look and feel of the new rod and being one of the lightest in my arsenal is just icying on the cake can’t wait to do more bussiness with you guys you nailed it thanks team mags!!!

Custom Spinning Rod

Bob B.

Love at first touch happened at Paul’s North Shore Bait Company in Oconto. I picked up the 7’6” ML fast and instantly knew this was the rod I had to have for hair jigs. I ended up purchasing one directly from Maggs as soon as I got home. The first trip out was on the Bay and it was bent over all day. The finesse and feel is second to none. I’ve never personally fished with a rod with so much sensitivity that you can almost feel them thinking about biting, I will be replacing all my rods open wat...
