Infantry

The Bull Bay Infantry is Bull Bay's entry-level inshore spinning and casting series, based on 24-ton carbon fiber blanks with SS316 marine-grade guides. It serves budget-conscious inshore saltwater anglers who want functional saltwater-rated components, specifically the 316-grade stainless versus the more common 304-grade, without flagship pricing. Bull Bay manufactures in Florida and positions the Infantry as suitable for both freshwater bass work and inshore flats fishing.

Blanks are 24-ton carbon with fast action across all 12 models. Guides are SS316 marine grade on all models for corrosion resistance in saltwater. Reel seat is a standard configuration. Grips are custom EVA/composite cork blend instead of full cork. A standard BBR round hook keeper is fitted. Line ratings organize into three tiers: 5-10lb (ML), 6-12lb (M and MH variants), and 8-17lb (MH heavier). The series does not include lure weight specs on manufacturer listings.

Twelve models cover lengths from 6'2" to 7'6" in spinning and casting configurations. Three line-class tiers correspond loosely to redfish and trout (5-10lb), general inshore (6-12lb), and heavier applications including snook and larger redfish (8-17lb and 10-20lb). Casting models extend to a 7'3" 10-20lb option (BBRIF20-73BC) for longer-range baitcasting. Spinning models top out at 7'6" in MH, providing extra reach for sight-casting on open flats.
