Welcome to the world of Major Stix rods, a series of rods that
marches in the light of the military. The Major Stix rods carry a logo
that I would associate to the air forces, with models following military
ranks. This time round we tested a model called The Colonel.
The Colonel follows the styling of American bass rods with muscular
butt sections tapering down towards the tip with a 65%-70%
backbone. It has loads of power stored up in its blank of which gives
superb fish battling control over to the angler.
