Light, strong, and highly sensitive, the Johnny Morris® Patriot® Casting Rod represents American craftsmanship at its finest, yet it comes to you at a price any angler can afford.

Split-grip handles boast weather-resistant Winn® custom grips for ultimate comfort. Our extra-light 2-piece minimalist reel seat puts your fingers directly on the blank, for lightning-quick vibration transmission. Fish with the Johnny Morris Patriot Casting Rod once, and you'll readily agree that quality, value, and a passion for the craft are alive and well in America today! Made in USA.

Best Bass Pro rod I've ever ownedI'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.

Found a new replacementPurchased 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.

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.

WowI 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.

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

PATRIOTI paired this up with a Revo Rocket and oh man The Rockets Red Glare. Not only does it look sexy and very patriotic, but it is an absolutely lethal combination as a flipping and pitching set up. Comfortable, light, sensitive, responsive, and plenty of backbone. I am going to buy another and pair with a Diawa Inshore reel and use it for spinnerbaits and buzz baits. Will see how that works but I am a diehard American Patriot through and through. Thank you Bass Pro Shops for making good products.

Highly recommend this rodI have purchased 4 of these rods, I have to tell you that they are very light in weight and perform beautifully.
The sensitivity of the rod is also great, I can feel even the slightest of fish action on those days when the fish slowly take the bait.
I would suggest to BPS to change the location of the bait or hook holder loop that is located on the handle, if you do buy this rod you should invest in a bait hook holder that fits in front of the reel, this might help keep hooks out of the palm of your hands.
Otherwise I see no problems with this great rod

Patriot rodAfter getting the chance to pick one of these up I have got to say that the workmanship and quality of this rod is like no other. I spend many days on the water with my clients and will be adding a half a dozen of these rods to my lineup. Thank you bass for making A awesome product yet again
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.
