When we first learn how to fish, we really don’t pay attention to specific rod and reels we are using. All we want to do is be out on the water trying to catch the fish of a lifetime. However, at some point we then begin the process of wanting something a little more, something of more quality, and of course more expensive. As a tournament angler, I want the best of best to be competitive on the water, and also know my equipment is not going to fail me. One of the major tools a fisherman needs to catch fish is a rod, and my preferred choice of rods come from Cashion Fishing Rods.

Everyone that fishes with me knows the one bait that is always tied on is a chatterbait. Cashion Fishing has produced two of best chatterbait rods on the market: The Elite and The Icon Series Chatterbait Rods. These rods are top of the line when it comes to quality, sensitivity, weight and strength. There is not much difference in both rods except the Icon is built with more advanced material. When setting the hook, I don’t have to “jack the fish up” but instead let the rod do the work. There have been plenty of instances where a bass would follow the bait all the way to the kayak, leaving no time for a traditional hookset, but I can allow that rod to load up and basically get that fish to hook himself.

If you are in the market for a new rod or in particular a chatterbait rod, definitely check out Cashion Rods. I am very confident in their products and customer service has always been great! If you are local around the Atlanta area, come on down to Westbrook Supply Co. and check them out.
