Rain gear...

Just because you wouldn't use it isnt a reason not to get a musky rod.  I live in Missouri, there aren't any muskies anywhere near here and I have two musky rods.  I don't know why - blame the bait monkey.

You probably ought to have a rainsuit though.  If you're bank fishing and tromping through brush, weeds, cattails, whatever, I wouldn't get a real expensive one.  Don't get one that you're worried about tearing up.   I know that Frog Togs are allergic to thorns and lake side bushes.  You could probably get by with a poncho.

But, it's not my money, you should get what you want

a good rain suit is worth its weight in gold!!!

BTW Frogg Toggs are awesome. Fairly cheap, and they keep you dry.  I realize theres a lot of bad reviews on them, but I've never had an issue with mine.

dude get modern warfare II instead.

Take some advice from someone who grew up in Northern Wisconsin 68 years ago.  That cold rain is miserable.  Get a rubber rainsuit big enough to wear sweat shirts under it.  You need a musky rod, too.  There are some really big musky and northen pike up there.  Fishing from the shore, you can't get out to where you might get snagged so you need something big to get out of the lilypads and weeds and blowdowns.  If you need to, you can use a musky rod for bluegill and crappie,  but you can't us a "crappie" outfit for northern pike or musky.

I fished for many years using cheap rain gear. I didn't know what I was missing. Good rain gear is an absolute must in my humble opinion. Buy it large enough to wear a couple of layers underneath and you will use it all four seasons. I'm not saying you don't need a musky set-up, I would just buy rain gear first.

Cabelas sells a variety of good rain gear, including Guide Wear which will probaby last you forever. I've had mine for years. 8-)

Come to Pomme de Terre sometime.  There are some very nice muskies in Missouri.

Oh, that's cute NA! ;D  If you already have fishing gear of sorts, get a decent rain suit. As said earlier, make sure it's oversized a little.  You know how it is up here in Wiscawcin, rain one minute and snow hittin' ya in the adze the next.  Get the musky rig later.
