This Bass Pro Shops Graphite Series Casting Rod measures in at a mere 3' in length, making it an excellent rod for pitching lures under docks, working areas with thick brush, kayak fishing, and ice fishing for larger fish. While this is a unique special-purpose tool, you'll find it's a great choice for younger anglers as well. 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 minimize line friction and hold up to hard use. The graphite reel seat with cushioned stainless steel hood maintains a solid feel during long days on rough water. The Graphite Series 3' Casting Rod features full cork grips to provide a comfortable hold in wet conditions, and the minimal foregrip helps reduce overall weight and enhance balance.
