Quick take
A 7-foot medium-heavy spinning rod with cork handle and hybrid design for freshwater bass.
This 7-foot, two-piece spinning rod pairs a medium-heavy power with a fast action, so it handles bigger lures up to an ounce and heavier line. Its cork handle and blank-through-handle build keep it light and sensitive in the hand. It suits anglers who want one spinning rod for bass-sized lures and general freshwater work.
