baitcaster rod heavy action soft tip Micro Magic Pro - Casting / 6'6" Med CI4+ REEL SEAT CI4 is a Shimano original material reinforced with carbon fiber that is lighter and has a higher strength than conventional resin material 6th Sense Response Casting Rod

This material provides a slim profile that cuts through the wind easily, while the moderate-fast action offers the perfect balancestiff enough to set the hook on a hard-mouthed predator, yet forgiving enough to absorb the lunges of a powerful fish right at the net

I feel like this rod was built for that exact fishery

Because Ive been using baitcasting reels for over 30 years, I can usually dial a reel in within 2 or 3 casts and then never have to touch it again

Primary forage: Crawfish becoming active in warming shallows, Shad schools in pre-spawn staging areas

Every year it amazes me how many guys will get in my boat and not have or be able to find what they need at the beginning of the day

Whether they're wild or impoundment fish, throw in some cover and a healthy food source and you're sure to find a bass or two
