Quick take
A 7-foot medium-heavy baitcaster with IM6 graphite blank, providing extra reach for bass and freshwater fishing.
This KastKing Crixus combo pairs a 7-foot, medium-heavy graphite casting rod with a baitcasting reel geared at 6.5:1. The rod splits into two pieces for easier travel, and the reel is set up for right-handed anglers. It suits freshwater bass, walleye and catfish fishing with braided line, where a bit of backbone helps with larger lures.
Best for
- Larger water and longer casts for bass

Strengths
