Overview
Not a heavy rod for large fish, this is a light power spinning rod in a short length, listed for bass. The blank is graphite and the size label shows a two piece build.
The short length and light power suit small lures and tight casting spots. The listing leaves out the action, the line rating and the lure weight range, and the piece count shows both one and two pieces.
Who it's for
A light spinning setup for bass in ponds, small rivers or from a dock suits a rod this short. Anglers throwing heavy lures or needing a long cast over open water should choose a longer rod with more power.
Pros and cons
- Short and easy to handle
- Light power for small lures
- Action not listed
- Line rating not listed
- Piece count listed two ways
- Not for heavy lures
Performance notes
Light power means the blank bends easily, so it casts small lures well and shows small bites. A short length gives accuracy in tight spots but less casting distance. Match it to a reel and line of a light weight.
