It's the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) is more than just a fishing spot, it's an isolated angling test ground. With hundreds of lakes interconnected as well as pristine waters and restricted access for fishing, the BWCAW requires gear that is both stable and designed to be versatile. One of the most important tools included in your kit is the spinning rod.
But choosing the appropriate spinning rod to suit this unique environment isn't simple. It's not all about the rod's weight or actions, but rather how the rod reacts in physical isolation as well as across a variety of species and under various conditions ranging from early spring until the end of fall.
