That's the CB72/6-12 blank by American Tackle. I have a custom rod built on that blank. Love it

Thanks Kevin for the intel… love the guys who enjoy the details

My buddy and I fished with Capt. Adam Whitson last week out of Yankeetown and it was my first exposure to Fitzgerald rods. After 1 day of fishing them, i am totally hooked. As soon as I got back to NC, i ordered one. Maybe the best rod I've ever used. Excellent rod! Capt. Adam is a great guy!

Fitzgerald has the perfect actions for employing artificial lures… its what they do. Glad you had a solid trip with Capt Adam!

Great to hear that you are coming back to NC to fish. Great video Captain.

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas

Great video CA, I have a question ? I’m a beginner Wade fisherman and I can carry a max two rods in a single trip. What two rods (with specs) would you suggest ? I’m mostly throwing soft plastics like paddle tails, fitness baits,etc, however I’m starting to learn to use top water lures.

I’m bias towards my 9’ one piece phenix dragonfly and stella 1000 with 6lb braid for spooky reds. Mirrodine mini with sharper hooks small zman plastics on 1/4 oz jighead and live shrimp can be casted a mile with that nice soft tip

Good input much appreciated

Nice Information!!!

Glad you doing the review on the Fitzgeralds. How do you like the microwave eyelets ? Can you recommend an Aquafin that will throw the heavier plugs , basically throw the last plugs mentioned. Thank you

Brian- the Microwave guides do offer smoother casting but I haven’t seen a real increase in distance. For swinging the AF70MH in the Aqua Fin or the AP70MH in the All Purpose but that is a casting rod.

I just ran into this channel. Wish the guy would be on the boat showing these techniques hands-on fishing and showing us the caught bass😢😢😢😢

Where can you get the 10lb test white Diamond braid? All I can find in that size of orange, blue, or green

Which of these rods would you recommend if I have swapped out the treble hooks for singles on the 17MR? I stopped using trebles as I was harming fish.

You will likely choose a rod that is Medium/Fast instead of the Medium/Mod Fast I talked about. Fitzgerald Rods has that rod in their Aqua Fin Series

I have a 7ft Medium Teramar XX in the southwest model. This rod says fast action but since it's parabolic I feel it should have been labelled moderate fast. I fish in Flamingo where it's usually filled with floating grass. Ive converted to single inline hooks on my lures and run weedless soft plastics. What's the best rod that you would suggest? @@flatsclasscharters

What rod would you use for the zman 3.3 mulletron? TIA

Depending on rigging method but you should do fine with Fitzgerald Aqua Fin AF70M or the FRAD72M in their Aqua Dream rods

You are saying I need a rod for every lure don't think so

That’s exactly what he’s saying. You should start a free KZread channel and teach us the right way!
