MONSTERBASS Custom Lite 7' Medium Heavy Fast Casting Rod – Bass
If you want one rod that does most things in freshwater, look for medium or medium-heavy power, fast or moderate-fast action, and 6'6" to 7'2" in length. These rods handle bass, walleye, eater catfish and big panfish with a wide range of lures.
How to choose
- Spinning, medium, 7': the most forgiving all-rounder for most anglers.
- Casting, medium-heavy, 7': if you fish heavier lures, 12 to 17 lb line, or more cover.
- Line: 8 to 12 lb mono or fluoro on spinning, 12 to 17 lb on casting, or braid with a leader.
