When you want the best, go to the source. The Z-Man Drew's Ultimate Ned Rig Spinning Rod is all about precision bass fishing with light line, light wire hooks, and finesse baits. This is the first-ever single-technique complete rod series, made just for Ned rigging and painstakingly perfected by Drew Reese, a true pioneer and co-creator of the legendary TRD bait series. Each rod is built on an elite-grade carbon fiber blank integrated with Toray 12K High Modulus Fiber, resulting in an extremely light, highly sensitive rod with exceptional tensile strength. The action and componentry are custom-tuned for Ned rigging. Features super-light, durable SSR guides with stainless steel frames and double-swaged stainless steel inserts, and a premium cork Tennessee handle; seldom seen these days, this open handle style allows you to position your reel at any point to achieve perfect balance and thus maximize your sense of feel.
