Sanded glass blanks feature a feather light tip that loads to an extremely fast backbone for tighter responsiveness on hook sets along with better leverage. The Meat Stick rods and combos have become the rage with serious panfish anglers who need both finesse and sensitivity combined with hook setting power. While this rod blank has an incredibly sensitive tip that excels for panfish presentations, many walleye and perch anglers also use this same blank for dead stick and finesse applications as the fast backbone that loads behind the limber tip provides leverage for handling larger fish. Combos feature our exclusive JMS600 Spinning Reel which boats Extreme Temperature Lubrication, Five plus One Ball Bearing Drive, Custom Wide Arbor Spool (for a more sensitive drag adjustment and lure drop performance) along with push button folding handle and multi disk drag.

20” Medium Action Rod (8472)
The ultimate finesse rod for panfish, this shorter length can work as a sight fishing rod or works well inside shelters or whenever anglers need to position close to the hole or electronics.  Soft tip enables anglers to present small jigs and lures with a subtle and fluid stroke that also counters line twist.

24” Medium Action Rod (8473)
Most popular length for panfish anglers who want both sensitivity and subtleness in their presentation along with backbone for incidental larger fish like bass. Great all purpose length that can work well inside shelters or outside when kneeling or fishing off a bucket.

28” Medium Action Rod (8474)
Great all species rod action that can balance well with panfish presentations or double as a finesse or dead stick rod for walleyes and perch. This is the original rod blank that started the Meat Stick craze.

48” Medium Action Rod (8494)
Extra-long two piece rod folds down for storage and transportation but the extra length is a killer standup panfish rod. Also works as a great dead stick rod for reaching to a far hole. In clear, shallow water, the extra length can help you catch more fish if commotion and boot noise is bumping fish.
