Features & Angler Benefits

• Live Sonar Optimization: Purpose-built action and sensitivity allow you to track your lure and react instantly to fish behavior visible on your sonar screen, maximizing hook-up ratios.

• Ultra-Responsive Fast Action: Delivers the pinpoint precision needed for vertical presentations and micro-adjustments in the mid-column. The fast action translates the gentlest bite instantly, ensuring a rapid hook-set.

• Unmatched Sensitivity: The Torayca® carbon blank provides the ultimate feel, allowing you to stay in continuous contact with your lure and detect the most tentative bites under the water column.

• Compact Control: The 7’2″ length is designed for perfect balance and comfort during extended sessions in a boat, offering superior control over the lure directly beneath the transducer.

• Baitcaster Optimized: Perfectly complimented by a size 200 Westin BaitCaster reel, this combination provides the ideal ergonomics and line control for single-handed lure adjustments and managing heavy lines.
