This rod is designed specifically for "ripping" lipless crankbaits, like the Lucky Craft LVR and Rattle Trap, out of the grass. The actual technique is to crank the bait down into the grass and then "rip" it free. That's when the strike occurs. You need a rod with a light enough tip to allow the bait to wiggle enticingly and yet have enough butt to power it out of the grass and handle big fish. After all, that's the goal, right?
