Mitchell Traxx Lure Spinning Rod

Description

The Mitchell Traxx Lure Spinning Rod 602UL is a specialised lure rod built for ultra-light finesse fishing, where sensitivity and responsiveness matter more than raw power. It is designed for use with spinning reels, and the Traxx series as a whole is built around giving the angler better feel and control over the lure. That comes from a combination of a responsive blank, lightweight components and an ergonomic layout. At 6 feet, this model is compact enough for boat and kayak fishing, and for casting into tight, overgrown spots where a longer rod becomes awkward. The blank is made from Strong HG-M Carbon, a medium-modulus carbon chosen for durability, fast recovery and sensitivity. That responsiveness lets you feel the vibration of even the smallest lures working, along with the most delicate bites. The rod has a fast action, bending mainly in the upper third of the blank. This gives two advantages: the stiff backbone and sensitive tip transmit lure action and pick up subtle bites, which is central to finesse fishing, while the fast taper still allows quick, powerful hooksets on the light lines and small hooks used in ultra-light work. Power is rated Ultra-Light, and with a 1-7g lure rating the rod suits micro-jigs, small spinners and tiny soft plastics. It is a 2-piece design, which keeps it easy to transport and store without compromising strength or action. - Rod Type: Spinning (for use with spinning reels) - Model Number: 602UL - Length: 6 feet (approximately 1.83m) - Lure Rating: 1-7g - Power: Ultra-Light (UL) - Action: Fast - Pieces: 2 - Blank Material: Strong HG-M Carbon - Guides: Lightweight Anti-Tangle Stainless Steel Guides - Handle Material: High Density EVA - Reel Seat: Ergonomic design - Additional Features: Hook keeper - Primary Application: A great all-around choice for targeting smaller predatory fish such as trout, perch, and chub with finesse techniques. Its short length is ideal for fishing from a kayak or a boat, or for fishing in tight, overgrown areas The guides are lightweight anti-tangle stainless steel, designed to cut down on line tangles when using thin braid or fluorocarbon and to help produce smooth, accurate casts. Their low weight also adds to the rod's overall sensitivity. The ergonomic reel seat is a standard spinning design that holds the reel firmly and comfortably, and the handle uses high density EVA grips that stay secure when wet. The handle's ergonomic shape, often a split-grip, trims weight and improves balance. A hook keeper near the handle lets you secure the lure when it is not in use, so the hook does not snag on clothing or other gear.
