baitcasteing rod Savannah™ 723: 6 ft / Med. Heavy Power / Fast Action Introducing the Ugly Stik Carbon series featuring 100% graphite for a lightweight rod 13 Fishing Fate Black baitcasting

There are some pretty solid rods out there for around $50, though most will probably be heavier and less sensitive than a few of the better $100 options

Last year while flippin across the pads, on my second cast I nailed a 6-pounder

Where I will venture into the flat-sided realm more often is when moving to that depth the square bills cant go

Overall, this is a great reel to have in any fishermans selection

Some key ones to keep in mind would be the shad spawn, fry from the bass spawn, and Panfish spawns

In freezing wind, stiff braid , icy guides, and numb fingers , this reel stayed predictable and that level of control becomes even more valuable as fishing conditions change throughout the year
