The sanded lapis composite blank of the Clam Jason Mitchell Meat Stick Ice Spinning Rod combines a feather-light tip on the business end with a powerful backbone. This design concept results in exceptionally smooth loading, which makes it ideal for both search baiting with heavier lures and deadsticking. Fitted with a yellow-orange high-vis Bite Detection tip to ensure you never miss a take; lightweight fly guides, to shed water and help resist freeze-up; and a front-weighted polyurethane-wrapped EVA split-grip handle to precisely balance the rod's in-hand feel, maximizing its sensitivity.
