Do you love big bluegill?

This is a ESP 6 foot powerlite fishing rod. It has a IM6 graphite rod. The handle is a Tennessee handle made of graphite. The handle has vibration amplification technology, which means it has alloy disks between the rod blank and the graphite handle. Yes the fishing reel is taped to the handle with electrical tape. It is more comfortable then having the rings on to seat reel. I think this is the most sensitive rod I have ever used. It is made by Esp by Norseman outdoors .

Hey Tooty,  The sensitivity of this rod is crucial for horizontal jigging.  You are right that they are popular with the walleye and crappie fishermen.  They make these rods from 5 feet long to 12 feet long.  I am happy with it, and I can not find a made in China logo on it.  This size of rod and the sensitivity  go great with my float tube.  If any one is interested go to norsemanoutdoors.com

HEY DILLY, nice little rod. Those Tennessee handles were very popular a few years back and still have a following especially with the Walleye and Crappie dudes. Personally I'm a line watcher now and that seems to work ok for me.

A Tennessee Handle is a all cork handle with no reel seat.  They use rings to seat the handle to the rod or tape their reel to the cork handle.  Charlie Brewer thought the reel seat took away from the sensitivity of the rod.  This handle is graphite instead of cork, so it is very sensitive.  Sorry, This is not a great picture.
