Rated 5 out of 5 by Triton Pede from Need More Options!! Excellent rod! The sensitivity, backbone, and casting ability are on par with much more expensive rods. Yes $200 isn’t cheap but it’s worth it; I can cast a 5” weightless senko 40+yds. I was skeptical because I have the carbonlite 2.0 and wanted an “all-around” rod that I didn’t care if it got beat up cause I bank fish a lot, so cheap was more important, but the carbonlite seems stiffer for the same specs and isn’t overly sensitive, probably because it’s stiffer and slightly lower quality. Then i tried the Patriot and the signature series and the sensitivity is far superior at a reasonable price point. Would outfit my boat with all Patriot IF they made more variations!!! Please Bass Pro, make more variations!!! Keep the handle, exact same micro eyes (not the ones one the platinum series) and make more lengths and actions!!! Like a 7’2”-7’4” MH Mod or Mod-Fast, or even longer M and MH fasts. This is a great rod for the price, spend the extra, you will love it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by OldLloyd from JM Patriot Rod is a Winner! I own a few major brands of rods, but the Patriot is my favorite and costs a lot less than my G.Loomis and two St Croix's. It feels fantastic with the Winn grips. You'd have to try it to appreciate it. Even with your hands wet and slimy with handling bass, it grips like it was dry. The physical weight is so light it compares with much more expensive models. Super sensitive. I'm betting it's made by G.Loomis. The Patriot beats my former favorite BPS rod from many years ago (Old Pro Qualifier with the clicker and cork reel nut, which I wished they still made, but it too heavy). I will be buying one more patriot soon.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bassmandave55 from Great rod I bought a 7' medium heavy during the fishing classic love the feel of the rod. I've fish Powell rods and g-loomis rods this rod every bit is as these rods plan on buying a few more down the road

Rated 5 out of 5 by MatthewK from Best Bass Pro rod I've ever owned I've owned dozens of bps rods over the years (mostly carbonlites) and was tentative to make the leap because of the price. However, this rod definitely takes it to another level. The balance and sensitivity blow my other $100-$150 rods out of the water. I bought the 7'6 H to replace a Duckett Micro Magic flippin stick. I weighed the two rods and the Patriot is a almost a full ounce lighter than the Duckett. I still highly recommend the Carbonlite series but if you are looking to make the next step up it is definitely worth it for the Patriot.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Olman from Found a new replacement Purchased 1.... 7'MH fast.... fished it for a month..With sufix 832 braid 20&30# line as well as flourocarbon in 12/15/17# seagar red label and tatsu... I was super impressed with everything about this rod... 2 piece reel seat(which I like) NOT the weak gimmicky (micro) eyes and winn grips..its everything I was looking for in a rod.. I now have replaced all of my Ducketts...(5) total now and paired with my shimano aldabaron for my finesse fishing as well as my Daiwa steez svtw reels every time I pick one up I just smile... Oh Also..almost forgot Made in the USA and light..very compared to the ducketts.. If you can still find these get one and try it...you wont regret it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by The Nibbler from Worth every penny. I’ve used a medium and medium heavy all summer long. Great feel to them. I don’t know how they haven’t snapped like a twig when catching bigger fish that bolted underneath my kayak. I don’t believe in putting logos on my jersey that I’m not sponsored by, but Patriot rods would be one I’d consider.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Spinner1116 from Wow I bought a few days ago used it the day I bought and it was very impressive. This is an excellent rod I got the 7'6 heavy fast. Very sensitive and powerful enough to pull the hawgs out of thick grass. Worth the 200 will buy more.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Pierre B from Best rods I own! I have 2 Patriot rods in my collection of 12 rods. Before, my favorite rods were St-Croix Legend Tournaments. Now that I've tried the Patriots, they became my new favorites. They are very sensitive, light, holds up very well to all size fish and feel very comfortable and balance with my Revo reels. I will be adding more to my collection soon. Thank you

Questions & Answers

I was looking at the 7 foot medium/heavy and wanted to know; is this a good rod for crankbaits? I use a 6'8" St. Croix for jigs and spinners and want to pair it with a good crankbait rod.

Asked by: Arty

Thank you for your inquiry! The Bass Pro Shops Johnny Morris Patriot Casting Rod in a 7' MH is a versatile rod and should work fine with most crank baits.

What is the difference between this rod and the platinum. Only answer I can get is that it is made in USA. What is the weight of both as well please? .... @Bps ??

Asked by: Nebraska guy

Thanks for your question. Apart from appearance, the Patriot and the Platinum Signature casting rods are similar in many ways; both are built on an RT5 graphite blank and utilize Winn grips, with SiC inserts in Fuji guides. However, the rod lengths are mostly dissimilar, making an apples-to-apples weight comparison tricky. For the one size they have in common, 7'6", the Platinum Signature model is approximately 2 ounces lighter.
