-
High-Visibility Tip — Bright white tip improves bite detection in low light or across current seams.

Purpose-Built Actions — Medium, Medium Heavy, and Heavy powers for circle hooks, cut bait, or live bait.
-
Versatile Lengths — Options from 7'6" to 11' cover bank sets, anchored rigs, and long-range casts.
