This rod has a powerful butt-section with a nice tip giving you a lot of versatility. It fishes best with 8-10 pound line. If you prefer spinning to casting, this is a great option for small to medium-sized baits. It's an excellent rod for fishing ¬-ounce jigs, tubes and grubs. There?s plenty of power to set the hook, and it handles big fish extremely well. A great choice for fishing in tight places where you need enough power to handle the fish and still protect the light line.
