The BB Series is Halo's $189.99 signature line, built with Justin Hamner, the 2024 Bassmaster Classic champion. The rods use a high-modulus graphite blank chosen for stiffness and low blank weight, which Halo pairs with hand-selected cork grips and a locking reel seat.

The defining trait is that the series is technique-specific rather than a general range. Each model targets one job: frog rods at 7'0" Medium Heavy, 7'2" Heavy, and 7'9" Extra Heavy for topwater frog and heavy cover; a 6'11" Medium Heavy jerkbait and cranking rod; a 7'1" jig rod; and a 7'1" Medium spinning rod built for forward-facing-sonar scoping.

That spread means the six rods are meant to be bought for the presentation, not the length. The higher-modulus blank stores and releases energy quickly for accurate casting and fast hooksets, and the heavier frog models carry the backbone for pulling fish out of vegetation. The scoping spinning rod reflects how much forward-facing sonar has changed bass tackle, earning a dedicated model in a six-rod line.
