Duckett Fishing Crappie Slayer Spinning Rod - Perfectly Balanced,the team at Duckett Rods painstakingly balances each rod in the series. Balancing a rod correctly makes the tip lighter, and therefore allows the rod position to be more easily displaced translating into increased sensitivity. Sensi-Touch blanks – made from the highest quality multimodulous pre-pregs for an extremely lightweight and durable rod. Halo-Sanded – for a stronger, lighter rod with great sensitivity. High impact, cut resistant comfort grip EVA. True split reel seat for better blank to hand transmission of vibration. Definite separation of tip and backbone for enhanced performance, cast ability and control. Proprietary 316 Stainless Steel frames with industrial grade hard chrome inserts.
