    • @kstracka
      @kstracka Рік тому

      The Fenwick rods that we use are the HMG series in the 7'0" medium fast (HMGPX70M-FS). But these rods seem to run a little pricy at around $130. But we found some Okuma rods that i thing fish just as well if not better in the Reflexions series. The (RX-S-691Mb). Its a 6'9" medium fast action rod also. I think i paid $69. But i actually really like the Okuma rods for this type of jig fishing. Feel free to call or text me at 231-878-2520 if you have any more questions.
