Phenix black diamond 806 good fishing rod best in my opinion its great for fishing freshwater striped bass or largemouth bass catfish and you can also take it to the beach catch calico bass sand basss halibut barracuda bonita take it on the boat catch a big yellowtail no problem handles fish off all sizes just throw a good 4000 or 5000 size real with some braid 50lbs best or 40lbs works too and get a long topshot or just a wind on leader you can throw all types of lires and jigs even live bait flyline it casts very far
