I would recommend spending 10 to 20 dollars more and buying up for the HMG model. I have the 6' and 6'6" Medium models for that particular rod and I love them as if they were produced from my own loins lol. They are the best medium priced rods I've ever used, and they are perfect for short cast, river fishing for Smallmouth. Fenwick is the best company to go with on just a value level.

Texas rigged 3" Powerbait Pit Boss for flippin 4" Yum Dingers BassPro Teaser and Tender Tubes 4" Big Bites Finesse Grubs Kayak river fisherman fo life.

I put them on a Hayabusa Shooting Ball football head jig without a trailer and fish it like a shaky head. Great for Smallmouth. Best colors are Crawdad and Green Pumpkin.

I have 2!!!! 4 inch Big Bites Finesse grubs, and 4 inch stick baits. In the Ozarks power fishing for Smallmouth in rivers really doesnt have much success in my experience. The Smallies always prefer finesse baits around these parts.
