This rod will surprise you with its power, action and lightweight balance This rod is one of our most popular. With a strong backbone and a medium-heavy tip, this rod is perfect for most worm fishing in and around medium-heavy cover. Good for many moving baits such as swim baits, rattle traps and spinner baits. 2008 Graphite Plus Freshwater The Graphite Plus "Technique Specific" Series has special application enhancing features ranging for use from pitching spinnerbaits to deep cranking to flipping soft plastics to Carolina Rigging. Whether you need that special rod to fish your favorite “Senko” type bait, for throwing that small jerkbait, or to toss that topwater frog into the nastiest slop, our high strain Graphite Plus blanks have what it takes to get the job done. With additional graphite dura-fibers, these rods feature the best in weight, balance, feel and action while not sacrificing hook setting backbone, control and speed. This provides you with the ultimate fish fighting power and fish finding sensitivity. Kistler’s own “Smart Touch” reel seat puts you in direct contact with the sensitive blank. We have removed the fore grip in order to reduce the dampening effect from cork to further progress the vibration to your fingers. Stainless Steel, black plated guides with hardened, ceramic inserts provide you with smooth casts and retrieves without the problems normally associated with the use of braided lines. All rods are equipped with Kistler’s own original “Hook Hanger” design. The flanged ring tips eliminate knocked out inserts due to accidents. The Graphite Plus Inshore Series rods are designed, engineered, and inspected in the USA and hand crafted by our factory trained and experienced rod technicians at our facility in China. And as always, our famous, World Class “No Hassle” Limited Lifetime Warranty.
