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