Quick take

A 5'6" light power spinning rod with 24-ton graphite blank and solid graphite tip for sensitivity on ultralight lures.

This 5'6" light-power spinning rod suits anglers chasing trout, panfish and other small fish on light line. Its graphite blank and solid graphite tip keep it light in the hand, and the moderate fast action works with 4 to 8 lb line and small lures from 1/16 to 1/4 oz. A split grip and a short length make it easy to handle for beginners and experienced anglers alike.

Best for

  • Small stream trout on ultralight line
  • Panfish and crappie with finesse tactics
  • Light lure fishing with 1/16 oz lures

Skip if

  • You fish larger species or heavier lures
  • You need longer rod for distance casting

Strengths

  • 24-ton graphite blank is 30 percent lighter than previous model but still 50 percent stronger
  • Solid graphite tip improves sensitivity
  • One-piece stainless steel guides resist corrosion and eliminate insert pop-outs
  • Fuji reel seat and foam handle offer comfort

Trade-offs

  • 5'6" length limits casting distance compared to longer rods
  • Light power unsuited for anything larger than crappie or panfish
  • Fast action concentrates bend at the tip rather than providing flex throughout rod
