baitcaster bass fishing rod combo ProFISHiency Drip Baitcast - Left The rod is constructed from a lightweight and sensitive IM8 graphite blank with stainless steel guides and inserts for smooth line flow Tackledirect Shimano Slx Spinning Rod

I prefer to have the power and control of a casting rod when Im cranking, so it was important to me that this rod could handle a 3/16-ounce lure with ease

In my opinion spend the extra money for a better reel
