Also, sensitivity while maintaining some backbone to land a 7+ pound redfish around structure would be required.

I was looking for a rod to throw small soft plastics to spooky redfish, so casting distance was a large consideration. I know why Wesley Strader is so pumped up about this stick.Ĭomments: Have had the pleasure of owning the Powell Endurance Spinning Rod 7'2' Medium Composite model for a couple of months now. Super light and balances perfectly with a Shimano Miravel. No trouble getting the hook in them either. I have felt bites on bomb casts with flukes that I couldn't have with some of my other spinning gear. Flukes, drop shot, wacky, small swimbaits, ultralight crank baits, it works well with them all.

However, it doesn't have so much tip to where you can't cast accurately in tight quarters. A lot of tip and then a short transition into backbone.
