If you fish where the water is murkier and you need a lure with a larger profile to make sure the fish know it’s in the area, this is an excellent rod. Designed for fishing heavier lines when you’re fishing lakes with more brush or trees and especially when you know there are big fish around. It still has that nice tip-to-butt, progressive-power-taper that improves casting distance and lure control. It’s extremely sensitive so when you’re deadsticking a bait, there’s no doubt when a bass eats it.
