Quick take
A heavy-power swimbait casting rod with fast action, designed for throwing large swimbaits and handling hard-fighting bass in heavy cover.
This one-piece graphite casting rod runs 7 feet 11 inches and carries a heavy power with a fast action. It is built for throwing larger swimbaits for bass, and its blank uses unidirectional fiber reinforcement for extra lifting strength in the tip. A split grip with an EVA handle keeps the rod light at under 9 ounces.
