Benefits and key strengths

The primary advantage of this spinnerbait and jig rod lies in its versatility. It allows the use of various skirted or bladed lures without ever losing feel. Whether you fish with a straight retrieve along weed edges or perform slow sweeps on the bottom, the rod faithfully transmits lure vibrations and bottom structure.

Its fast action ensures clean hooksets, even with long leader length, while keeping enough progression to absorb runs from large fish. This progression limits hook pulls, particularly with fish that take the lure from the side or strike from short range.

Finally, its balance and relative lightness allow long days of casting and retrieving while maintaining a comfortable posture. For anglers who spend many hours casting spinnerbaits or swim jigs, this directly translates into more focus and enjoyment on the water.

Usage tips

This predator lure rod performs best with appropriate rigs and presentations. For spinnerbaits, favor a steady retrieve while varying speed to find the right depth. Don't hesitate to add pauses near cover or use short jerks to provoke vibration changes.

With blade jigs and swim jigs, alternate between straight retrieves near the bottom and stop-and-go or lift-and-fall animations to follow breaks, weed edges and submerged timber. For rubber jigs and Texas rigs, exploit its sensitivity by slowly scraping the bottom, marking short pauses and being ready to set the hook at the slightest abnormal weight or micro-tap.

This rod shows its full potential close to structure: bridge pilings, rock banks, submerged trees, cluttered edges, etc. Cast as close as possible, let the lure descend while maintaining slight tension in the line, then control the trajectory to work the lure along the cover where the biggest predators lie in wait.

Testimonials

Many anglers highlight this rod's ability to combine sensitivity and power, with a very direct feel of spinnerbait vibrations and excellent holding power during the fight. It is often cited as a trusted rod for quickly covering large areas while maintaining the precision needed to target key spots.
