Quick take
A 6'6" medium-power spinning rod with Armadillo Hide composite for responsiveness and durability.
This 7 ft, two-piece spinning rod has medium power and a moderate fast action, with a composite blank, stainless steel guides with inserts and a split EVA grip. It is rated for 8-14 lb line and 1/4 to 5/8 oz lures, which suits bass, panfish and walleye presentations with light to mid-weight lures. The two-piece build packs down for travel and storage.
Best for
- All-around freshwater bass and walleye on moderate lures
- Light saltwater species on spinning tackle
Skip if

Strengths
