Quick take
A 7' medium-power spinning rod with 24-ton carbon fiber, combining sensitivity and durability.
This is a 7-foot, two-piece medium-power spinning rod with a moderate-fast action and a graphite composite blank. It is matched to 8 to 14 pound line and carries eight guides with a split cork-and-rubber grip. The two-piece build packs down easily for travel, and the medium power suits general-purpose spinning lures for bass, trout and panfish.
Best for
- Walleye and bass on crankbaits and finesse jigs
- Freshwater all-around fishing on moderate line weights
Skip if
- You fish ultralight techniques; you need light power
Strengths
- 24-ton carbon fiber provides lightweight responsiveness
- 7' length balances casting distance and control
- Rubberized cork handle stays tacky when wet
Trade-offs
- Medium power is less specialized for single techniques
- Moderate fast action is versatile but not optimized for one style
