First class rod engineering is the standout feature of the Wally Marshall Classic Signature Series rods. The premium IM8 blanks, designed to provide the perfect balance of backbone with a light, fast tip, deliver an astoundingly sensitive rod with plenty of strength to drag big slabs out of the deepest cover. The rods feature stainless steel guides and inserts for maximum reliability, as well as lightweight graphite reel seats for added sensitivity. Marshall, a lifelong crappie specialist, worked hand-in-hand with Lew’s engineers to design the four rods of the Wally Marshall Classic Series.
