There's been a trend in the past few years towards longer rods and it's a valid one, especially since a lot of our lakes lose their cover as they mature and the brush and trees die off. long rods are great when you're fishing open water with plenty of CASTING ROOM, but when you start moving to the bank and the cover gets in the way, those long rods just won't cut it. This is where our Casting Rods SHINE. Shorter than their Mag Bass cousins, they have the same fast actions and responsive tips you need for low trajectory, accurate casts. Here's one of the most popular and versatile casting rods in the entire G.loomis line, capable of fishing a variety of lures and techniques. A good rod for topwater lures, it's also an excellent choice for grubs and worms, especially when fishing clear water with 10-12 pound test. Yet it will handle larger worms and up to 3/8 ounce jigs. It has enough power to move fish away from cover, but it's much better as an open water rod. This rod is capable of fishing a variety of lures and techniques, including topwaters, spinnerbaits, grubs and small worms, especially when fishing clear water with lighter-than-normal line. In contrast, it will handle larger baits and heavier line when necessary. If you fish Red Fins, long A' s or Rapalas, this is a good choice. It's surprisingly light yet has enough power to move fish away from cover and it has that IMX sensitivity.
