Quick take
Two-piece bass rod with extra tip section for backup, stryker green finish with PTS power transition system and excellent casting distance.
This is the casting version of the KastKing Spartacus II, a medium-heavy power, fast action graphite rod with a split cork handle. It breaks down into two sections and comes with a spare tip section, which makes it easier to carry and gives a backup on the water. A medium-heavy fast rod like this suits bass anglers working lures that need some backbone.
