Great Lakes Finesse FXC Finesse Spinning Rods

FCX74ML – 7’ 4” Medium Light (Fast Action)

The most versatile rod in the Great Lakes Finesse lineup. If you can only have one, this rod will handle just about every finesse presentation you can think of, from casting a hair jig, fishing a finesse underspin, drop shotting and mid-strolling to dragging small finesse baits.

This Great Lakes Finesse rod offers the perfect blend of length and action for making long casts when needed, while remaining extremely effective for light-line drop shotting, hovering a minnow and mid-strolling. Because of its longer parabolic action, it is especially well suited for drop shotting or hovering a minnow with light line and fine-wire hooks.

The longest-casting and most parabolic rod in the Great Lakes Finesse lineup, with enough backbone in the lower section to turn fish of any size. When extreme casting distance is required, this long Medium Light rod is the ultimate tool for launching small baits farther than virtually any other rod on the planet.

With distance comes the need for sensitivity, and this Great Lakes Finesse rod provides exceptional feedback through its full X Carbon blank and one-piece carbon handle. It allows anglers to detect bites farther away from the boat while also feeling the slightest strike, making it easier to set the hook at exactly the right time.

The parabolic action in the upper half of the rod allows small baits to be fished with line as light as 4 lb test.

Without a doubt, this rod helps anglers connect with more fish when using bottom-oriented presentations and put more of them in the boat.
