Awesome One Piece Finesse Rig Rod

This review updates a one month prior entry. Now that I've fished it a bit more, AWESOME rod. I've just bought a second. Originally for panfish and trout, it's become my favorite for accurate presentations wading bulrush shorelines for bass on inland and Great Lakes. Fast action to telegraph every bit of the action, with enough spine to steer the big guys away from trouble. Paired with a Pflueger President 20 or 25 reel, the combo is light, comfortable, and tough enough to fish all day. I run 4# Sufix with an 18" Vanish Fluoro leader on Carolina or Neko rigs. Precise casting, and even with this light tackle, haven't felt undergunned on big Largemouths or Smallmouths. It's just a blast to take 'em on with this rod.

Sensitive, Tough, And Light

Bought this 7' one piece medium action/fast rod as an upgrade for panfish and trout. In the last 3 weeks, I've taken 11 nice 2 plus lb bass along with plenty of large panfish. Very sensitive for finesse presentations, and the fast action means fun battles with plenty of spine when needed to keep the big guys from brush piles. I've paired with a Pflueger President size 20 reel and Berkley Sufix or Trilene XT 4 lb line with a 6# Flourocarbon leader. Casting is wonderful, controlled, predictable and accurate with the lighter line and rigs near the 1/8 minimum for this rod. Only takeaway is the reel mount, which places your fingers on the base of the spinning reel with no cork or EVA under. Gets a bit uncomfortable after a few hours compared to my Berkley or Fenwick predecessors, and just would be unbearable for cold temperature Spring or late Fall fishing.

Sensitive Rod

I was all set to buy another Fenwick HMG or St. Croix Mojo Bass rod for some finesse worm/soft plastic baits until a salesman who also fishes quite a bit showed me this rod. Honestly I'm not the most experienced bass fisherman so a lot of the rods felt the same to me, everything from a 249.00 to this 50.00 rod. I bought the ML fast action and I couldn't notice anything between this and the 149.00 St. Croix Mojo Bass rod. This rod was on sale for 49.00 so I figured why not, plus being that price point it allowed me to buy a reel, braided line, floro carbon line for a leader and a bunch of soft plastics. It's super light even with the Revros 2500H I paired with it. Can't wait to use it come spring but seems like a sweet rod.
