st croix victory fishing rods – St. Rod Finished with a single coat slow cure blank sealer and two coats of slow cure Flex St. Croix Victory Casting Rod

They allow you to add a decent amount of backing behind your running line, shooting head, sink tips, and leader, while still allowing for somewhat quick line retrieval

A buzzbait for instance is made up of a metal wire, metal/plastic propellor, and a rubber skirt

The range of drag between half a pound and three pounds is sufficient, ditto that for the maximum drag

It is my understanding that a Shimano 2500 is the same size as a Shimano 3000, and the only difference is in how much line you can get onto the spools - please correct me if I am wrong though

Pulling into snags puts a lot of strain on reels and you want the components to be solid

To be clear, this isnt a good rod for kids long term
