The Bass Pro Shops Pro Qualifier Casting Rod is crafted using our exclusive RT3 graphite with Powerwall construction, a specialized process that creates a strong, structurally enhanced rod blank with reduced wall thickness. Reducing the amount of material in the blank minimizes overall rod weight while enhancing sensitivity, making long days of casting more productive and enjoyable. Fuji Concept "O" guides with aluminum oxide inserts facilitate smooth line flow; our 2-piece minimalist reel seat improves sensitivity by maximizing blank exposure. The Pro Qualifier Casting Rod utilizes a split-grip handle design for outstanding balance and castability. Lightweight EVA grips with X-wrap enhance comfort in all conditions. 3-piece travel models come with a nylon rod sock and embroidered rod tubea $19.99 value.
