Fishing Tackle: Abu Garcia Bass 8' Fishing Lure Rod Review


As a dedicated angler, I'm always stalking one species of fish or another. I must confess, though, that I particularly enjoy fishing for the noble bass. There's no doubt in my mind that the bass is the most sought-after sea fish by many anglers. So, I've made it my business to learn some facts about my worthy opponent. Here are just a few:

About Bass

Although large specimens might weight as much as 20 pounds, about 3 to 4 pounds is the average. This fish can grow to a length of about 40 inches and can live up to 20 years. The bass belongs to the perch family and has an elongated body with dual dorsal fins. These fish have distinctive silver-coloured sides, grey backs and white undersides. Because bass are a predatory species, they have large eyes and mouths with plenty of small but sharp teeth. This is a warm water fish that you'll find near rocky headlands, harbours, estuaries, power station outlets and surf beaches. You need every possible advantage when fishing for bass. Here's some information about a piece of bass fishing tackle I particularly favour: the Abu Garcia bass fishing lure rod.

Key Features of the Abu Garcia 8' Bass Fishing Lure Rod

Expect to pay about ?163.00 for this rod, but do look for it on special offer for about ?140.00. This rod is part of a dedicated line of lure fishing spinning rods that are specifically designed to work equally well whether you're fishing from shore or from a boat. The design gets high grades from me, simply because it is so versatile. If you're the type of angler who shore fishes with deep diving plugs or surface poppers, take a serious look at this rod. If you prefer boat fishing, it's also great for fishing soft plastics or for spinning.

More About the Abu Garcia 8' Bass Fishing Lure Rod

Bass fishermen can expect extreme performance from this Abu Garcia rod. Since I prefer rods with Fuji guides, I was glad to see this rod fitted with them. Although performance is more important to me than looks, I do think this rod is quite attractive, with a deep midnight blue blank and a distinctive fish graphic. This is a two-piece rod that also has a keeper ring. A thoughtful design feature is the unique, V-shaped hook sharpener located on the rod's butt. It comes with a semi-hard protective case and a neoprene rod bag. Neoprene, by the way, is a synthetic rubber that's quite resistant to oils, grease and ageing. Neoprene also is completely waterproof, so you can be assured your rod is well-protected in its case.

Final Thoughts on the Abu Garcia 8' Bass Fishing Lure Rod

This is a good all-around rod that I highly recommend to bass anglers. It's an extremely durable and very versatile piece of bass fishing tackle that helps even the playing field against these wily fish.
