As Ive mentioned several times in other fishing rod reviews, I hate buying a rod without being able to hold it in my hands first

With baitcasting, I find it more import to align the rod lure weight with your typical terminal tackle weight

Spinning rod handles are also straight but have no trigger, because the stem of the reel that connects it to the reel foot allows an anglers to retain a solid grip with multiple fingers in front of and behind it

I know all y'all think of me as a surf fisherman/guide but actually I am a bit more versatile than that and am not with out adequate skills as a lure fishing guide in bay systems during winter and spring and certainly for big game fishing in the nearshore Gulf of Mexico in the Panga
