This rod is designed specifically for fishing small to medium-sized jerkbaits in shallow water and tight quarters where a shorter rod is preferred to keep your lure under control and to be able to react quickly and move the fish away from cover. It has a nice, fast tip-section to help make accurate casts. The short length allows you to fish the tip straight down to make quick strokes to impart the proper action to the lure. Once you hook a fish, our progressive-power-taper takes over, providing positive control as the blank flexes.
