Fishing Gear: Abu Garcia Justin Lucas Topwater Rod

Description and Application: Major League Fishing pro Justin Lucas says: "This is the perfect topwater rod designed for getting maximum casting distance while allowing for a great hook up and landing ratio. It also serves well as a good crankbait rod and lipless crankbait rod.” You can take those words to the bank the rod features custom Abu Garcia reel seat for greater comfort, titanium guides with ultra-light zirconia inserts, split-grip handles and comes standard with a 3-year warranty. The rod measures 7 feet, 4 inches and in a medium heavy action.

Staff Perspective:In the world of technique-specific rods, topwater presentations have needed a specific rod for a long time, and this is a great answer to that call. I know Justin spends a great deal of time throughout the season using topwaters, and he doesn’t miss many fish with this outfit. Having his name on it says it all—proven, reliable and in association with one of the top young anglers in the game—although he’s been around for quite a while now. This is a solid add to your arsenal.
