New rods bolster great line of new-age bass fishing
equipment
Isn’t it funny how the bad dude is always cloaked in black
on those dramas on television, his face obscured, dark and ominous? I think it
made black kind of cold and unfriendly. Apparently a bunch of folks in the
bass fishing rod business saw that too and started making rods in every color in the
rainbow besides black. We have white Duckett Rods and white Abu Garcia Veritas
rods. There are purple St. Croix Mojo rods and orange Carrot Stix for anglers
who fancy a rainbow of rods on their deck.
But there’s just something about a good looking black rod
that we like. We got our first look at one of those new black rods two years
ago at the Classic in the Pure Fishing booth when Mark Sexton showed us one of
the new Villain rods they were developing. Then last year at ICAST, we got to
see some working prototypes.
