ICAST 2012: Wright & McGill

Wright & McGill are adding to their line-up with a new Rick Clunn Cranking Reel. The colors are designed to match the rods that Rick designed for them and it features a 6.3:1 gear ratio.

Yes, it isn’t what you would usually think of these days as the ideal speed for cranking, but Rick Clunn explains that he tends to fish these plugs faster than the average guy and he can always slow down if he needs to.

The rods will continue from last year and, like all Wright & McGill products that Rick endorses, are value priced.  

Skeet Reese introduces three new rods in his rod series which include one designed specifically for umbrella rigs, a punching stick that is 7 feet 11 inches and a magnum swimbait rod that comes in at 8 feet in length and is rated up to 3 ounces.

This series of rods has become popular for both their forgiving parabolic bend and their value pricing which continues for the upcoming season.
