With reduced weight and enhanced strength, the Bass Pro Shops Graphite Series Muskie Rod will stand up to the rigors of catching big, freshwater fish, such as Northern pike and muskie, as well as inshore saltwater fishing. 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 hold up to hard use and minimize line friction. A graphite reel seat with a screw-down, cushioned stainless steel hood keeps reel securely in place during rough battles with big fish. Full cork grips provide a nonslip hold in wet conditions, and the extra-large foregrip gives added leverage. This rod has the backbone for casting heavy baits far, setting the hook deep into boney mouths, as well as strength for controlling battles with hard fighting fish. Images depict the style of the rod handle and may not fully represent the actual length. Cancer and Reproductive Harm- www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
