We don't just sell top-of-the-line fishing gear like FX Custom Rods, the latest electronics, or the best bait you can buy– we're obsessed with helping you maximize your time on the water.
One of the most important factors in achieving fishing success is using the correct fishing rod for the technique you've chosen. The right rod will give you the sensitivity, power, and action you need to feel every subtle bite and battle trophy fish with confidence. Right now, the season is perfect for ledge fishing, and we sell all the tools you need in-store (drop by and meet our team!).
Of course, Elite Sonar isn't just your one-stop shop for rods and other fishing necessities. We specialize in custom installations of all major brands of sonar equipment, mapping, shallow water anchors, and more. We can even take you out on the water for personalized training to help you master your new gear and perfect your fishing skills.
Here at Elite Sonar, if you can dream it, we can make it happen on the water. But let's get down to the nitty-gritty: choosing the perfect FX fishing rod for your next fishing adventure.
Conquering the Ledges: The Right FX Custom Rod for the Job
The ledge is a prime location for lunkers, but it takes the right setup to entice them from their underwater havens. Here's a breakdown of the FX Custom Rods perfect for ledge fishing techniques:
- Cranking (WCB78HMF & WCB710XHMF): These heavy-powered cranking rods (16-22ft and 20-30ft depth range) are built for deep cranking baits that require a forceful presentation.
- Spooning (WMB77MHF & WMB77MH+F): Whether you're targeting suspended fish with 4-inch spoons (WMB77MHF) or bigger bruisers with 5-8-inch spoons (WMB77MH+F), these medium-heavy spooning rods offer the perfect balance of power and tip action.
- Jigging (WMB73HF & WMB77HF): Feeling those delicate jig bites is crucial, and these jigging rods (WMB73HF for lighter jigs (1/2oz-1 1/4oz) and WMB77HF for heavier jigs (3/8oz-1 1/2oz)) deliver the sensitivity you need for precision jigging.
- Spinnerbaits (WMB77H+MF): Spinnerbaits come in various weights, and the WMB77H+MF rod (ideal for 1/2oz to 2 1/2oz baits) offers the backbone to handle weighty spinnerbaits and wrestle aggressive fish.
Crappie fishing requires a delicate touch. That's where the Carbon Series rods come in:
- Carbon Series LF XCS70LF: This ultralight, 7' finesse rod is perfect for casting light jigs and live bait for crappie, offering superior feel and responsiveness.
- Carbon Series LF WSJ74MLF: This medium-light action rod is another excellent choice for crappie fishing, providing versatility for a variety of techniques.
