The Shimano IX2000 Spinning Combo 6 ft Rod and Reel Combo is great for all levels of fisherman who love to fish for bass. A graphite composite rod remains strong and lightweight, while the 4.1:1 gear ratio delivers powerful, smooth retrieval. The 3+1 bearings help keep out grit, sand and other abrasives, and the rear drag lets you make drag adjustments without needing to reach over the top of the spool while fighting a fish.
