Tuned for flatside cranks, squarebills, and topwaters, the FLATSIDE SPECIAL has a regular taper for long casts, intuitive and accurate placement, silky load-transfer, and ample power to control the fight. Supple tip section allows for pinpoint roll-casts along target-rich shorelines and lets cranks perform to their fullest.
Once load is applied, the entire blank exhibits a smooth bend curve to keep the fish pinned and a strong butt section to apply constant pressure to hard-fighting fish. Don’t let the model name fool you—the FLATSIDE SPECIAL is an excellent topwater rod, delivering bombing casts and forgiving action that absorbs the wild head-shakes of topwater beasts.
