Known to be lightweight, strong and sensitive, the IM8 graphite blank in this series gets skeletal graphite reel seats, split grip Dri-Tac handles by Winn Grip and 8 + tip American Tackle Microwave Guides. It’s a solid feeling rod that provides better than average sensitivity and durability at this price point. The Bladed Jig in a 6’11” and the Inshore (with blue Winn Grip handle) 7’0” Soft Plastic and Top Water are the newest additions.
Nine one-piece models from 5’9” to 7’6”, designed for 6-65 lb test, 1/8 – 1 1/2 oz lures, with moderate to fast action and medium-light to heavy power.
