Quick take
Rod and reel combo packages with IM6 graphite rods and smooth Centron reels matched to different fish species and techniques.
This KastKing Centron combo pairs a 6 ft 6 in medium-power casting rod with a left-handed baitcasting reel, so it is set up for anglers who reel with the right hand. The two-piece graphite rod has stainless guides and an EVA handle, which makes it easy to pack for travel. A medium power and moderate length suit bass, trout and panfish tactics with lures of ordinary size.
