David Fritts Signature Series Reel/Bass Pro Shops Crankin Stick Rod Combos
"Working a crankbait properly requires long casts and extra power on the retrieve." David Fritts 1993 Bassmaster Classic Champion Reel: The first word out of our Product Development Manager's mouth: ''This reel casts a honkin' mile! The pros, customers, everybody--they can't get over how far they can put their lure; it'll outcast any other reel! The reason? This reel has a taller, slightly heavier spool and a consistently narrower line angle, which generates incredible inertia on the cast--so not only can you cast big cranks all day without undue arm strain, you can also position your boat farther from the target. The extra-long aluminum handle adds power to your crankin' stroke, giving you the leverage to horse that lunker in from a distance. And we've designed a powerful new drag system which produces up to 10 lbs. of drag pressure. Machined-aluminum frame and spool; graphite side-plates; 4-bearing system with double-shielded premium stainless steel ball bearings; 6-pin centrifugal cast control. DF10HC has PowerLock instant anti-reverse; other models have dual-pawl anti-reverse. Hybrid graphite/glass rods for the crankbait fisherman. Exclusive designs by Stacey King! Rod: Stacey King has designed one of the world's great crankin' rods, tested it hard, and proven its mettle through dozens of high-pressure tournaments. As the Crankin' Stick gained its following, we've continued to advance its performance, to keep you ahead of the competition at every turn. We took the unidirectional fiberglass/33 million modulus graphite blank, strengthened the fibers and thinned the walls, to make it one of the lightest, most sensitive crankin' rods available. As always, you can expect true action with plenty of power and just the right flex, because the ''Fiberglass Feeling'' tip absorbs the shock of a surging fish--keeping you in control. On the business end, you'll find our Power Hump ergonomic premium cork handle fits nicely into your hand, giving you a firm, well-balanced grip at the point of attack; the XPS graphite reel seat is very light and strong, and features a unique soft touch finish that will only enhance your comfort. Finally, every model has premium Fuji Concept aluminum oxide guides and a Pro-Guard epoxy finish, for years of heavy-duty fun. Don't sell yourself short--if crankin' is your strategy of choice, the Crankin' Stick is the rod of your dreams! Action: ML = Medium Light M = Medium MH = Medium Heavy Species Key: LB = Largemouth Bass SB = Smallmouth Bass W = Walleye Line recovery in inches per handle turn.
