What is it?

Denali Attax Tennessee River Series

What sets it apart?

The Tennessee River presents some of the nation’s greatest bass fisheries, and with highly educated fish, lakes like Guntersville, Chickamauga and Kentucky demand high-level performance. To this end, Denali Rods tapped into the knowledge and expertise of top local sticks for the purpose of developing a set of technique-specific rods to get the job done on any TVA lake, any time of the year. This experienced insight led to the Denali AttaX Tennessee River Rod collection.

How do I use it?

Denali’s new rod series includes these models:

7-2 medium-heavy for bladed jig, swim jig and topwaters

7-4 heavy for frogs, swimbaits and football jigs

7-4 heavy multi-purpose

7-10 heavy fiberglass for deep cranking

7-0 medium-heavy spinning multi-purpose

7-6 extra-heavy for swimbaits, heavy jigs, flipping and spoons.

Each rod is made of IM7 graphite with woven graphite inlay for added strength and 304 stainless, Duraloc guides. These rods also include Winn Grips to maximize comfort and efficiency and skeleton reel seats for increased sensitivity.

Angler’s insight:

Denali has done a thorough job of breaking down the tactics that historically have proven most successful on TVA lakes and designing tools for the tasks. Within the AttaX Tennessee River series, you’ll find each rod handles multiple baits, but for optimal diversity, the 7-4 heavy multi-purpose casting rod is billed as an all-around rod for Tennessee River reservoirs that’ll handle Scroungers, rattle baits, Keitechs or jigs; while the multi-purpose 7-0 medium-heavy spinning rod handles a range of finesse tactics from drop shots, to shaky heads and Ned rigs.
