About this piece
Smith's B-Area Fun is a specialised baitcasting rod built for managed trout fishing grounds. At 4'7" (1.4 m) with ultra-light power and a moderate action, it allows anglers to cast small topwater plugs farther while keeping the tip above shallow water. The one-piece carbon blank and gang grip handle optimise both casting accuracy and fish handling.
