• Shimano POISON ADRENA 164MH-SB — casting · 10-42 g — Regular action, 1.93 m length, and a 10–42 g rating align with accurate, steady spinnerbait and other midweight moving-bait work in mixed cover, offering hooking security and casting control.
• Shimano BASS ONE XT+ 166M-2 — casting · 7-21 g — Chosen for treble-hook moving baits: the 1.98 m length, R action, 7–21 g rating, and 8–16 lb lines align with medium crankbaits and lipless, offering casting control and hook retention without overstressing lighter plugs.
• Shimano ZODIAS 166H-SB — casting · 14-56 g — Chosen for compact swimbaits and wakes where a moderate action, 1.98 m length, and a 14–56 g window align with controlled casting and treble management. It suits targeted presentations more than oversized, long-bomb swimbait work.
