Quick take
An IM7 graphite baitcaster with fast action and polymer grips for bass and saltwater fish with high-speed retrieves.
This One Bass combo pairs a 6.6-foot, two-piece graphite casting rod with a baitcasting reel, so it arrives ready to fish. The reel has a magnetic brake and a 7.3:1 gear ratio, which suits anglers moving up from spinning gear who want to learn baitcasting. It is aimed at bass, with enough range for trout and walleye in rivers too.
