The Big Bear Micro Series features the same incredible grip design and high modulus carbon fiber blanks as all of our rods. The super light blanks are matched with Pac Bay Minima micro guides and reel seats. The Big Bear Micro rod utilizes a size 6 double foot stripper guide, a size 7 single foot transition guide and size 4 micro guides and tips. The size 4 is large enough to pass a leader knot through but the small size results in a slightly lighter rod then the Original.
