Quick take
A 7'4" medium-power casting rod with moderate action, designed for accurate placement of crankbaits on bass structure.
This 7'4" single-piece casting rod is built for cranking, with a moderate action that lets a fish load up on treble hooks. Its blank blends E-glass elastomers with 24-ton graphite for a bend closer to glass with less weight. It handles 10-20 lb line and lures up to 1.5 oz, a fit for bass anglers throwing squarebills and mid-depth crankbaits.
