From Minnesota to Maine, Michigan, Tennessee, to the Columbia River of the Pacific Northwest, one thing remains true. "Brown bass" are harder to find, to figure out, harder to fool and harder to catch than any bass that swims. They'll test your temper, your patience, and your tackle to the very limits! We spent a few years with and picking the brains of literally hundreds of anglers that target these fish in several locations around the country. You'll appreciate the results; our Bronzeback Series with 15 different models covering every technique for every piece of water where you'll encounter smallmouths.

Whether you drag lizards, tube baits, grubs or jigs, toss crankbaits, jerkbaitsand spinners, or just love the challenge of catching a huge smallie on spider-thin monofillament, these rods will leave you pleasantly surprised.

Our BronzeBack Series rods are designed with quick responsive tips, allowing you to detect even the lightest nips and picks. the lower and mid sections are dynamically powerful, giving you total control when fighting even the largest fish. The casting rods feature "Mag-touch" blank-thru-handle construction for a better feel. Our spinning rods have our special reversed reel seat with a short fore-cork, so you can put your finger on the blank if you're so inclined. All are finished in a beautiful BronzeBack brown that is only matched by the fish itself.

When the water temperature hits the mid-fifties and the smallmouth start defending potential spawning territories, spinnerbaits really come into their own. This is a perfect presentation rod for clear water where you need smaller, more subtle baits. It's balanced perfectly for 1/4 to 3/8 ounce baits, with plenty of backbone to handle large fish.

Smallmouth bass hate chartreuse! They absolutely annihilate a spinnerbait with chartreuse blades. All right already... enough on colors! The thing is, smallmouth just plain have an attitude when it comes to spinnerbaits invading their territory. Basically, if you want to catch a lot of smallmouth, throw spinnerbaits! This is an excellent rod for spinnerbaits. It’s got that subtle mid-tip flex that allows maximum vibration and you can feel as well as see the tip throb when the bait is working right. It’s got uncanny sensitivity and you can fish a lot of different baits and line sizes with it. It’s just a great, all around spinnerbait rod!
