Moderate fast medium heavy in graphite will do the deal with any treble hook bait you put on it in my opinion.


I tend to lean more toward a Medium power/fast action for most treble hook applications other than straight cranking:

- squarebills
- topwater poppers and walking baits up to 125 size
- lipless
- jerkbaits
- sub-surface walking baits

I also throw almost exclusively 20lb braid to mono leader on these rods now.

Some videos showing the suction effect of bass on prey has made me stop using braid for most moving baits. I was having a lot of problems with chatterbaits.

Fast tip, medium heavy 7’2” graphite. I prefer enigma rods as they have great action and you can get them two for one at certain points in the year.

Great warranty but only hiccup is they have low stock at many points of the year
