Rated at 2 - 6 lb? What line do you have on it and do you just use it for lures? Thanks in advance!

the impact series are great rods do you get extra tips with the rod Thank,s
It came with a spare tip (Southern Sportsfishing), but you can also buy spares (with different action/flex) which is handy. I also love a full grip which is getting harder to find with lighter rods these days.
Not a bad ting rod but they're a little fragile, I'm too scared to use my other one now :down:

My fav's are Ugly Stik SP761LFT's, 7'6" single piece, light and whippy, perfect for KGW etc. They can handle big rays without exploding all over the place.
Only problem with graphite rods I Think

Got a custom 6-8kg 7 footer on a Samurai blank, with alps hardware. What a magic rod, my fave out of everything I own. just had 2 custom topwater spin rods built on heavier Samurai blanks, we'll see how they go

All round rod for me would be the black.label v2 2-4kg
Caught me snapper, mulloway, ep, bream, salmon, flat ties, squid and some more..

Second option would be an itchy twitchy.. they are very versatile rods..

I fish land-based exclusive, and rarely target larger critters. My go-to rod used to be a Raider squid rod, but I'm increasingly using my Itchy Twitchy for most everything. It's 'all round' for my needs.
