I bought the first Bronzeback rod in Lexington. Backwaters was at the Icast in Vegas and ordered. I was at the store when they were opened. That was in O4.

I have a 6"3 fast action tip. I fish 1/8-1/4oz mostly. Sahara 2500 with 6lb Excel. I have used crankbaits, tubes, spinnerbaits, buzzers, ect. It's a great creekrod for smallmouth.
Being at Dale I'd invest in a Gloomis F-n-F Rod. Bronzeback series of course.
It's a 9"6 and setups well with this type of fishing.
I have a Bronzeback F-n-F rod.
