Best Water Types and Situations The General excels in clear to moderately stained water where bass have time to inspect a lure before biting

Shallow spool design ideal for light lures like small cranks, swimbaits, and soft plastics

Featuring premium carbon blanks and our proprietary Powerlux 500 resin system, Fantasista X rods deliver sensitive, yet powerful ultra-light blanks with improved impact and fracture resistance
