With a sensitive tip, moderate action and strong back bone these rods are made for catching trophies. Whether it's bucktailing doormats or pulling large white chins out of wrecks, the Magictail Inshore Series has it covered. They are also both great rods for striped bass fishing; both casting lures and jigging. These rods are great for fishing Magictail Tog Jigs & Magictail Bucktails. Rods are set up for spin fishing.
