"Every angler knows that a finesse strategy is going to help put fish in the boat when nothing else is working."Stacey King 12-Time Bassmaster Classic® Qualifier ON most lakes (and especially in Stacey's backyard--Table Rock Lake), it's a good idea to have a finesse rod or two in your arsenal. Those smallmouth and drop shot fish are going to be shy of those other setups in your rod locker. These rods excel at finesse presentations due to the advanced Powerwall blank construction, which we've refined even further in creating these rods. The walls are thin yet incredibly strong, and the graphite is very rich--70 million modulus--to give you the kind of breath-on-your-bait sensitivity a good finesse rod needs. Fitted with SiC guidesets, our Full Contact slotted reel seat with Soft Touch finish, and premium cork handles. Action:ML = Medium Light M = Medium

"I have a 7 ft., med. action that I got about a yr. ago, have it paired with a Pro Finesse reel. Its the only rod I use for texas rigged worm fishing. Very sensitive but also a strong rod. I've caught some hogs out of lay downs and never had any problems. I would recommend this rod to any one looking for a finesse type set up and dont forget the matching reel !"

By massbasser
from Franklin, MA
Advantages: Performs well, Quality, Style/Design
"The 6 foot Pro finesse Trigger rod matched with the Bass Pro Prolite baitcasting reel makes an extremely lightweight and fun setup. This is a well made rod with a full contact reel seat and very nice silicon carbide guides. You can fish with comfort all day with these rods."

Great Rod,
April 13, 2009
By Jarvis
from Albany, GA
"Let me start to say, I only fish BP rods. From the Johnny Morris series to the Extreme series. I've been wanting one of these rods and finally got one recently from BPS in Macon, GA. This is a great rod. It is very light with thin walls but very strong. I use it for texas rigging soft plastics paired with a Abu Garcia Revo STX 7.1:1 ratio and 15lb 100% Trilene flourocarbon. And to mention, this rod is very sensitive. A must have."

Best Rod Ever,
February 21, 2009
By Anonymous
from Munford, TN
"I use this rod for bass fishing. I have seven of these and all of them have the Abu Garcia Revo STX. I buy them becasue i like the handle. I buy the 7 foot models. If you fish the Tenneessee River near the power plant, there is one of these rods along with Revo Stx reel at the bottom. It was raining and the handle was wet. When i went to cast, it flew out of my hand, and into the water.
They don't float! It was hard to watch it sink into 70 foot of water! I replaced it with another!"

Not Bad,
February 16, 2009
By Zags
from Spokane, WA
"I purchased the 6'3 for dock skipping soft plastics. This rod is not real heavy, but could stand to loose some weight. As past reviewers have mentioned, this rod is very well balanced, not tip heavy, and feels very comfortable with an Abu Garcia Revo reel. I really like the twist lock reel seat, however think a huge improvement on this rod would be to eliminate the foregrip. The foregrip is much bulkier than the rest of the rod. I would give a 7.5 for sensitivity on a scale of 1 to 10. If BPS would make these few refinements it would earn the title of FINESSE in my book. For 70 bucks on sale it is a heck of a rod."

Speckled Trout rod!,
December 3, 2008
By mknrf
from norfolk
"The 6ft 9in medium lite is one of the best Ive seen for Gators. Has just the right action for twitch baits. Length is perfect for casting, but not so long it wears out your wrist when using topwaters or finesse twitching. Sure hookups and the med lite action lets you lean on those lunkers without tearing free."

Great Value,
October 31, 2008
By gooseegg
from Hawaii
"I checked out the 6'6" ML casting model at the BPS in Katy, TX earlier this year and really liked the feel of the rod. What struck me was the perfect balance. It is light, but not super light, but it feels light in use because it is balanced so well.
So, when I got back home to Hawaii, I regretted not buying the rod. Months went by and I finally decided to get it, and I am glad I did!
Another thing on this rod that stands out at this price point is the use of Fuji SIC guides.
This rod represents a very great value and is a smart choice for budget minded anglers who still want a high quality rod."

even better than i thought it'd be!,
April 17, 2008
By 21farms
from delta, CA
"i ordered the 6'9" ML casting model...initially, i was concerned that the action might be too light. the tip is actually very fast and there's plenty of backbone for the hookset. i was even more pleased that the rod has two features that are not mentioned in the description: click-down reel tightening plus a multi-purpose hook keeper. i had bought a fuji hook keeper II in anticipation for this rod because a built-in hook keeper is not shown in the pictures and some of the reviews for other BPS rods say that they don't have hook keepers but this one does...not only that, it is the multi-purpose one that can hold texas rigs and dropshot weights. as for the rod itself, it is very light and feels and looks great...highly recommended."

Beauty,
April 12, 2008
By Speerzy
from Guelph, Ontario, Canada
"These rods are excellent. I have a 6'3"m casting, and I've never seen a better balanced rod. It feels like you're palming just the reel. Amazing. Spinning or casting, these rods awesome. These rods will compete beside rods of 3 times their price, no problem. P.S. the 6'8" ml spinning is a river fishing dream"

feel more bites,
April 9, 2008
By bowhunter25
from Michigan
"I own 3 of these rods. Two 7"M and one 6'6"ML. I love these rods for fishing smallmouth because they are so sensitive and also have enough backbone to horse a big fish into the boat. I have used all the high end name brand rods and I would have to say this rod is just as good or better than any other rod on the market. My wife also loves this rod because she can fish all day with out getting tired from holding a heavy old rod. Try one you will see what I mean."

Great Rod Great Price,

By huntfishplay

"Can't complain about a good deal. Not the cheapest rod you can get but it is one of the better rods you can get. I like the cork bottom and not the rubber bottom. It is a great lookn rod also. I like the color. Looks like it will last longer than the extreme rods. Go fish and have fun"

Stunning!,
January 19, 2008
By Flippin4it
from Fairfax Virginia
"Bought both casting and spinning rods. Both 7ft med and I am totally impressed with the quality and sensitivity of both rods. The 7ft casting was bought as a combo with the Prolite finesse reel and spooled with 10lbs yozuri, it's to throw Senko's. The 7ft spinning is matched with the Pflueger Supreme MG, spooled with 6lbs Trilene Sensation. It's used for shakey heads and a little drop shotting. Did I mention how light both rods are?"

"I own 2 of these Rods 6'9" ML they are great for dropshot and shaky heads. They are very sensitive and have lots of backbone. I have let several friends use one while they were fishing with me and they also bought one I have mine rigged with a Fluger Supreme reels with 8lb test."

Excellent rod!,
February 24, 2007
By DaleRoy
from Atlanta, GA
"I bought my third BPS finesse rod today for a total of two casting and one spinning rod. Few bass rods these days are built to throw 1/16 oz. baits (as does the ML) and even less of those are one-piece with a good backbone, which is why I bought these. I don't have a lot of big fish to brag about here, but these rods are extremely sensitive and, to date, I have landed several fish including a 4 pound largemouth with these rods. I have long believed Bass Pro makes the best rods out there for the money. If you find a better rod out there, start looking for Bass Pro's newest rod to come available at a lower price."
