The Halo Fishing XDIII Pro Spinning Rod is a 7' spinning rod built to deliver tournament-level sensitivity and durability for freshwater and inshore anglers. Combining a high-modulus Toray blank with premium components, the XDIII Pro improves bite detection and casting accuracy while remaining lightweight and comfortable for long days on the water.
Halo Fishing designed the XDIII Pro series to cover a wide range of freshwater techniques—from finesse bass presentations to heavier inshore applications—offering both spinning and casting models across multiple lengths and actions. For the 7' Medium and Medium-Heavy spinning models, recommended line is roughly 6–15 lb with lure weights around 1/8–3/4 oz; other actions and lengths provide higher power for larger targets. Halo Fishing components are compatible with standard spinning reels, rod tubes, and common rod holders, making these rods easy to integrate into existing setups.
