I’m just going to say it.. If you need in my honest opinion one of the best spinning rods I have ever used contact Brian Barde and just ask for the Toon’s slick stick custom!! This rod literally is a do all rod Texas rig drop shot to shakey head even to Ned rigs it is just the right action for a do it all spinning rod.. I can honestly say I’ve never been so impressed by build quality, action, as I have been with this rod… you all are missing out..
