MACH 1 Rods

Drop-shot spinning model. Light power at 7' gives the reach and tip sensitivity to detect subtle bottom bites; the 1/32oz floor handles the lightest drop-shot rigs commonly used for finesse bass fishing.

Ned rig/small finesse spinning model. The 1/16oz low end fits the light mushroom-head jigs central to the Ned rig; the compact lure range distinguishes it from the general ML spinning models in the series.

Punching rod. The H power blank and 65lb top-end line rating are sized for punching heavy mats with tungsten weights on braided line, the heaviest duty model in the series.

Labeled as a Tokyo Rig/jerkbait rod. Moderate-fast action and the narrower 8-12lb line window suit the technique's need for a somewhat forgiving tip that still carries enough backbone for a positive hook set.

ML baitfinesse casting model built for light lures on a baitcaster. The 6-10lb line window and 1/8-3/8oz range confirm it is tuned for small crankbaits, finesse swimbaits, and skip-casting with lighter plastics, not for standard baitcast loads.

Designated crankbait rod. Moderate action separates it from the fast-action majority of the lineup, providing the parabolic bend needed to keep treble hooks pinned during a crankbait fight and to cushion casts with hard-bodied lures.

Jig rod with a wide line range (12-50lb) accommodating both mono/fluoro and heavy braid for flipping and pitching. The fast action keeps sensitivity high for detecting bites in cover.
