GL2 BASS * NEW *
GL2 Crankbait
For years, many manufacturers have pushed fiberglass rods for fishing crankbaits, claiming graphite rods are too stiff and react too fast. That??s partly true because fiberglass is softer and much slower reacting, , but we have gone to great lengths to design the soft, slow flex into these rods while still maintaining the sensitivity and lightweight advantage of graphite. Material is only one part of the formula, design is another, and in the case of our crankbait rods, may be the most important. These are specialty casting rods, designed exclusively for crankbaits. We took all of the necessary elements required to make a rod that will fish a crankbait correctly?¦ a soft, more moderate action that??s soft enough to let the lures to work properly and allow the fish to inhale the bait, yet is very light, responsive and sensitive. You gain all of the advantages of graphite with a nice soft action rod that??s a lot lighter than fiberglass and far less tiring to cast over the course of a long day.

When you have to resort to deep-diving crankbaits to dredge up a bass or two, this is the rod you??ll want. It??s extremely light, so sensitive you can feel a big bass watch your bait and so responsive, you??re ready for every move they make. It's designed with a slower action to allow your bait to work properly and absorb any move the fish makes. It's a great, long-distance casting rod for medium-sized deep-divers of 5/8's ounce or less and is surprisingly powerful.
