The MB 665-1 (HM) is a phenomenal 6'6" Medium-Heavy, Fast action bass rod. The 6'6" length is the sweet spot for pinpoint casting accuracy, making it ideal for skipping under docks, roll-casting to laydowns, or operating in tight quarters where a longer rod becomes cumbersome.
Jigs & Texas Rigs: The fast tip provides precise lure control, while the HM sensitivity lets you read the bottom perfectly. The powerful lower section drives single-hook baits home with authority.
Spinnerbaits & Chatterbaits: The perfect length and taper for making accurate casts to shoreline targets and ripping baits through grass.
Topwater: A great choice for walking-style baits where a shorter, crisp rod helps maintain an erratic cadence.
About the Blank
Crafted from North Fork Composites' top-tier High Modulus (HM) graphite, the MB 665-1 delivers an extraordinary strength-to-weight ratio. Weighing in at an incredibly light 2.0 ounces, this blank minimizes angler fatigue without sacrificing an ounce of backbone. The classic "Mag Bass" taper features a fast, responsive tip that transitions smoothly into a remarkably powerful butt section. The HM material ensures lightning-fast energy transfer, meaning you will feel everything from the subtlest bottom composition changes to the lightest tick of a lethargic bite. The MB 665-1 (HM) from North Fork Composites is a masterful remaster of the legendary MB783 IMX taper.
