Incredibly tough. Extraordinarily sensitive. The Bass Pro Shops Graphite Series Casting Rod is a versatile, highly fishable rod that's destined to become one of your everyday favorites. The blank is constructed of RT1 Graphite, a strong and dependable formula that offers excellent value without sacrificing performance. Stainless steel guides with aluminum oxide inserts hold up to hard use and minimize line friction. Our graphite reel seat has a screw-down, cushioned, stainless steel hood to maintain a solid feel in rough conditions. Full cork grips provide a non-slip hold in wet weather; the minimal foregrip design helps reduce overall weight and enhance balance. With its castability, hooksetting power, and durability, our Graphite Series Casting Rod will keep you in the game, all day long.
