Q&A
The less rod between you and the fish, the more you'll catch. That's the simple truth behind our groundbreaking Bass Pro Shops® Johnny Morris® Platinum™ Signature Casting Rod. It's incredibly light, air-like, virtually an extension of your hand and arm, yet it can easily handle your heavy lifting. Casting, retrieving, feeling bottom, working the rod tip—they all seem effortless, yet so precise. This rod feels amazing, but don't be fooled; there's plenty of brute strength waiting to overpower that next unsuspecting bass. The Platinum Signature Rod's cutting-edge construction utilizes innovative Fortified Multidirectional Fiber Alignment technology to join 5 layers of carbon sheeting with a core infusion of reductive resin, creating an advanced RTX5 graphite blank with impressive sensitivity and power. A full 15% lighter and 35% stronger than previous models, this rod is perfectly equipped to fish like no other rod in your arsenal. We've dressed the Platinum with an extra-light, durable Fuji SiC guideset for smooth line flow; incredibly comfortable nonslip Winn® grips; and a sleek, exposed-blank Fuji reel seat with Soft Touch coating and cushioned hood. Small touches such as a line-shedding hook keeper and our handy Line ID System make this a well-coordinated rod that's lighter and more sensitive than you can imagine, stronger than you'd expect, and far more fun to fish than you could hope for.

Top of the line rod!I bought a 7 3 and really liked it. I'm about to buy another 7 3. Then I got the check out my buddies 6 9. Now I've got to buy 2 more! I've bought more expensive rods in the past but they're not worth it.

Great RodsI have had this rod, 7'1" med hvy, and irtis the best rod I own. I have used Shimano for years and bought a JM Signature rod several years ago, and several more along with several Shimano rods. The latest Signature rod has a handle that is too big and I really don't like it for that reason. I bought a titanium Jm rod which I like a lot, it is not as sensitive as the Platinum, but great for the price. You will love this one.

Happy with purchaseThis really is a great rod. I have it in 7'6" heavy extra fast. I will say i am very happy with my purchase. I have a fenwick heavy extra fast and also a st. Croix heavy extra fast and this platinum has more sensitivity then both the others which are higher dollar rods. I am giving it 3 stars because i dont like how big the handle is. I have this paired with a diawa tatula ct reel and when it's in your hand it feels like you're holding a bat then when you set it down to pick up a different set up like my st. Croix with a 13 fishing concept e reel it feels tiny and awkward because the size of the platinum rod

Another Homerun By BPSThis is a great rod and greater than or equal to some of my more expensive St. Croix Legend rods. BPS hit a homerun with this rod. I was a little hesitant to buy this rod, but went ahead and ordered it when I ordered the new Johnny Morris Platinum baitcast reel. I have now had this rod for 2 months and fish with it at least twice a week where I've caught probably 40 to 50 bass averaging anywhere from 2 to 6 pounds. The rod I bought is 7'4" in medium heavy. Though the description doesn't tell you this the guides are micro guides which is a big plus in getting the maximum distance in your cast. The rod is light weight and has plenty of backbone easily allowing you to control the fish on the end of your line. This rod is really sensitive allowing you to feel anything and everything during the retrieve. The Wynn Grips are outstanding and makes for comfortable all day casting. To top it all off this rod is a beauty to look at. This is an outstanding rod and should be in your arsenal.

Best rod out thereMy husband purchased this rod and he can't quit talking about it. He was unable to feel it at the store in Vegas because they didn't have them yet. He felt every rod in the store and had to order the rod online. He was so pleased when he received it in the mail. He said it is better than any rod he has felt. Would put it up against the most expensive rods out there. I just purchased him a second one for his birthday. Guaranteed this will be his favorite Birthday present hands down.
What ton rating would your platinum series rod be rared at? Ex 20 30 40 60 ?

How does the line ID system work? I can see anything in the pics.
Asked by: BK224
The line id system is a little dial on the butt of the rod. It does not have all of the line weights I use. It is pretty much useless in my opinion.
