Sanded glass rods feature a feather light tip that loads to an extremely heavy backbone. The Meat Stick rods and combos are balanced to load perfectly with heavier search lures yet enables anglers to watch for the lightest pickups. Great for dead sticking with live bait as well. The Meat Stick line up will feature a Tack-Grip handle which adds weight above the reel for balancing the tip for increased sensitivity along with creating a better gripping surface.
