At this price point it’s all about sensitivity and durability. Each of these rods offers incredible value and should be considered an asset in your angling line up. The jump in quality from $300 combos to $500 combos, is the biggest increase at any price point in bass fishing. These are truly high end rods, without the high end price tag. There’s a reason you see these rods on deck in all our videos!
Below you’ll find links to the rods and reels in the video. We’ve included our favorite models for each line of rods as well as our preferred sizes and speeds for the reels. Additionally, we’ve included a list of our favorite multi–purpose models from the different lines.
