Fishing Gear: Abu Garcia Josh Bertrand Drop Shot Rod

Fishing Gear Abu Garcia Josh Bertrand Drop Shot Rod

Description and Application: Designed by the specific demands and specifications of Major League Fishing pro and Arizona native Josh Bertrand. He comes from a place that offers highly pressured bass in ultra-clear water, and that means you need the right kind of rod to effectively present your drop shot and other finesse tactics. He said this rod will allow you to present your finesse rigs naturally while feeling every bite—it was designed to offer maximum sensitivity and touch. The rod measures 6 feet, 10 inches and features a medium light power, and comes with a 3-year warranty.

Staff Perspective:No doubt Josh is one of the finest to ever wield a spinning rod, especially with a drop shot tied on. If he says this rod is good enough to have his name on it, it’s good enough for me. Subtle presentations for pressured fish or river-run smallmouths require the angler to constantly be in touch with the presentation or those precious bites will be missed. The right action combined with the right components create a rod that you’ll love.

Cost:$199.95
