Quick take
A compact 5.5 ft spinning combo with a light power rod and a max X reel sized for topwater and finesse techniques on bass.
This is a compact 5'6" spinning combo with a light-power, two-piece rod and a size 750 reel. Its light action and small reel suit panfish, small bass and finesse presentations with light lures. The two-piece rod breaks down for easy carrying, which helps first-timers and anglers who travel to the water.
