The Duckett Micro Magic Baitcasting Rod is a high-quality fishing rod designed for anglers who want to enhance their fishing experience. This baitcasting rod is known for its exceptional sensitivity, durability, and overall performance on the water. It is crafted with advanced materials and cutting-edge technology to ensure a lightweight and powerful fishing tool. One of the standout features of the Duckett Micro Magic Baitcasting Rod is its incredible sensitivity. It is designed with a micro-guides system that allows for better sensitivity and improved casting distance. The reduction in rod weight from these micro guides also makes for a more balanced and comfortable fishing experience.
Since the incredible launch of our McBride Sisters Black Girl Magic Riesling, we’ve added a Red Blend, Rosé, Sparkling Burt, Merlot and Zinfandel to our the Black Girl Magic collection. These wines and this label have received so much love from you all! We see your amazing Instagram posts showcasing your Black Girl Magic and that’s the reason we made this brand.
If we were to honor the direct women in our family and the women within our community with a wine to celebrate their beauty and their resilience, what would that label look like. In addition to wanting to honor the women in their family, they also wanted to tribute Black women, from Mayor LaToya Cantrell in New Orleans to countless other queens in different areas, who were making their mark that year and always in all ways.
The reduction in rod weight from these micro guides also makes for a more balanced and comfortable fishing experience. Anglers can easily detect even the slightest nibble and feel the fish's movements, leading to more successful hook sets. In addition to its sensitivity, the Duckett Micro Magic Baitcasting Rod is known for its durability.
Black Girl Magic Wine Creators On The Growth Of Their Brand And How They're Celebrating Black Girl Magic Day
The McBride sisters chat with us about going from one Riesling wine in 2018 to a full collection, book club, 'Dine and Diaspora' program, a fund to uplift Black women winemakers and more.
Courtesy of the McBride SistersWhen the McBride sisters, Robin and Andréa, first came up with the idea for Black Girl Magic Wines in 2018, it was at a time when actual Black girl magic was in full effect. In addition to wanting to honor the women in their family, they also wanted to tribute Black women, from Mayor LaToya Cantrell in New Orleans to countless other queens in different areas, who were making their mark that year and always in all ways. They also wanted to do it on the biggest stage for Black women — ESSENCE Festival.
“There were a ton of amazing milestones and accomplishments happening across all different sectors from entertainment, music, business, politics, academia, all over the board,” Andréa tells ESSENCE. “And when Robin and I were talking about how we wanted to show up at ESSENCE, we were thinking, What could we do to commemorate what is really turning into an amazing year for our community, and in particular Black woman?“
The end result was the Black Girl Magic Wine label. They brought it to New Orleans for ESSENCE Fest 2018, showcasing it at the event’s opening party. The reaction Black women had to seeing the name of the brand on the standout labels and to tasting the wines was overwhelmingly positive. Recalling that time, they say that they were blown away by the response, but not shocked.
“The wine industry has never served Black women wine drinkers, or respected their palette,” Andréa says. “So we knew that there was a massive opportunity to be able to serve her.”
“I think when we did launch at ESSENCE Festival with the one wine, with the Riesling, we knew that people were going to love the wine and it would be well received,” Robin adds. “I think maybe the one thing we weren’t quite prepared for was the immediate volume in demand, but we were very happy and honored with how many people did love them and wanted more.”
Book Club selections – Black Girl Magic Wines
And more is what fans of the brand have received over the years and continue to receive. Much more. Since that launch, the McBride sisters have brought many more flavors and blends to their ever-growing base of supporters. They’ve also branched out to do more than just selling amazing wines, creating events, clubs and opportunities to highlight Black culture, changemakers, and to center wine in all of it. In honor of Black Girl Magic Day, which is Feb. 15th, they have an event with sommelier and The Hue Society founder Tahiirah Habibi. It’s a virtual wine tasting free to the public. Guests are welcome to bring along a bottle of some of the wines that will be sipped on, including the California Sparkling Brut, the California Riesling 2020, California Merlot 2018 and more.
“It’s going to be a joyful experience,” Robin says. “A celebration of Black Girl Magic. And we all have a great time when we’re together. Andréa and I and Tahiirah. We expect to have lots of folks join us while we drink really good wine and have a good time.”
In addition to this, they have a Dine and Diaspora program, partnering with talented Black chefs, having a conversation with them while pairing their dishes with one of the popular Black Girl Magic Wines to trace history through food and drinks. They also have their book club with Simon & Schuster, launched in 2021 but back in the new year. The first two selections for 2022 are Black Joy by Tracey Michae’l Lewis-Giggetts and Speak by Tunde Oyenein. Future book club selections will offer opportunities for the sisters to interview the authors and discuss the books over wine. There’s also new Reserve Wines on the way from California and New Zealand, where the sisters have roots. And for International Women’s Day in March, the McBride Sisters SHE CAN Fund will announce the 2022 initiatives for the professional development fund.
The New Zealand Reserve Wines – Black Girl Magic Wines
What started with just wine has expanded greatly in just a few years — a true example of Black girl magic from Robin and Andréa. They hope the path they’ve been able to pave, and the SHE CAN fund, will make a way for more Black women winemakers to sprinkle their magic within a less than diverse industry. This will allow for the Black woman wine drinker to be fully catered to.
“The wine industry and also, I think the spirits industry, are both sectors that could really benefit from innovation of thought. Innovation of people, innovation of background, innovation of cultures,” Andréa says. “Everybody’s going to bring a different approach to something based on their background and their experience. So we think the future is bright for the wine industry if it can bring in more people of color, more women into these spaces and rooms and places where decisions get made from a macro standpoint. Move the industry forward.”
McBride Sisters Black Girl Magic was cultivated at a time when we were seeing Black women breaking barriers as judges, scientists and in sports and entertainment. Black women were a huge part of the wine industry consumer demographic but were being underserved. If we were to honor the direct women in our family and the women within our community with a wine to celebrate their beauty and their resilience, what would that label look like?

Reviews for "Enhancing Your Fishing Experience with the Duckett Micro Magic Baitcasting Rod"
1. Peter - 2 out of 5 stars - I was really excited to try out the Duckett micro magic baitcasting rod after reading all the rave reviews, but unfortunately, it just didn't live up to the hype for me. The biggest issue I had with this rod was its sensitivity, or rather, lack thereof. I found that I was missing a lot of bites because I couldn't feel them in the first place. Additionally, I found the rod to be quite stiff, which made it difficult to cast accurately. Overall, I was really disappointed with this purchase and would not recommend it.
2. Sarah - 2 out of 5 stars - I purchased the Duckett micro magic baitcasting rod based on the positive reviews, but I was left feeling underwhelmed. One of the main issues I had with this rod was its durability. After only a few uses, the rod started to show signs of wear and tear, which was really disappointing considering its price. I also found the rod to be quite heavy and unbalanced, making it uncomfortable to hold for long periods of time. In terms of performance, I didn't find it to be anything special either. It didn't provide the accuracy or sensitivity that I was looking for. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this rod to others.
3. Mark - 1 out of 5 stars - I had high hopes for the Duckett micro magic baitcasting rod, but it fell short in almost every aspect for me. First of all, the build quality was really poor. It felt cheap and flimsy, and I was always worried that it would break with every cast. Secondly, the sensitivity was severely lacking. I couldn't feel even the slightest nibble, which resulted in missed fish. Lastly, the rod was way too stiff and had no flex. It made casting and fighting fish a real challenge. I was really disappointed with this rod and would not recommend it to anyone.
