★★★★★
“Strong yet sensitive! Plenty of power to hoist the big ones out of the thick stuff. Yet sensitive where you feel even the most subtle bites!”
Emily Heiman
★★★★★
“These Yakrods are amazing. I love how sensitive they are even with the shorter length. The tethers are so easy to use and will save you when you flip your kayak.”
Craig Pitts
★★★★★
“Instantly my favorite rod in my collection. Ordered a few more afterwards and there’s another 2 I have my eyes on. Packaging is bulletproof as well if you’re apprehensive about shipping.”
Richard Keller
★★★★★
“Pulled a 4 pounder out of the weeds on the first trip out. Could not be happier about the performance of these rods.”
Matt Johnson
★★★★★
“This thing allows me to flip and pitch my bait in the smallest areas. The tip is very sensitive but strong and the backbone helps get the fish out of even the thickest cover.”
William Selby
★★★★★
“Could not be happier about this package deal. Build quality looks to be great and they feel even better in your hand. The magnetic tether is just icing on the cake.”
