Folks, this casting rod fits right in with my adventure of chasing catfish. It was a perfect fit with the bait casting reel. I filled it with 20-pound test Spider Wire and 17-pound test Fluorocarbon leader. The rod was tough enough to drag larger catfish lout of their hiding places. The rod was able to cast a collection of live bait fish, cut bait fish and prepared dip baits. The rod is perfect to cast artificial baits to bass in heavy vegetation . The rod tip is sensitive enough to feel plastic worm lures, yet powerful enough to cast hard baits!

in the charter biz, people beat your tackle like a red headed step child. All I needed was a few rods that would work for slip float fishing for redfish and trout. These are lacking a few guides. Just hope they'll hold up. Already the prices went up since the first cherrywoods I bought for my light spinning reels, in the spring of 2025.

All of this is getting too much!
