Shimano's exciting lineup of Crucial Rods offers the serious bass angler top quality components at a very reasonable price. You can get Shimano's top-of-the-line Crucial Rod with actions specifically designed for bass fishing in more than 40 different casting and spinning models. These rods are constructed with light, powerful IM9 Graphite that makes them responsive, sensitive and light in your hand. All guides are top quality Fuji Alconite Guides with lightweight frames. Alconite ceramic is strong enough to stand up to any demands you may put on it, has 80% greater compression strength and is 20% lighter than other ceramic. The Alconite Guides are spaced according to the Fuji Concept System; more guides closer together for more sensitivity and increased line control and casting distance. Fuji reel seats and Grade A quality cork handles provide a light, sensitive grip, and you will experience far less fatigue after a long day of fishing. Also, all Crucial Rods are backed by Shimano's Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Two rod lengths with two actions in each length allows you to choose the Shimano Crucial Flipping Rod that is perfect for your style of fishing and the bait you'll be using. These versatile rods feature split rear grips for lighter overall weight and an incredible total of 9 guides for better line control and sensitivity. Since many anglers are opting for braided lines when flipping, Shimano has provided the line specs for using braids. If big fish in heavy cover get your heart pounding then the Crucial Flipping Stick is the rod for you!

Comments: I got the 7'6 MH model, and it works out great for pitching around tulles and grass lines, and it also is a pretty good Carolina rig stix, and big blade stix
