Performance:

"RIP" is a specialty rod that we sought help from professional kayak angler, Derek Brundle. Derek is known for his jerkbait fishing skills and helped us fine tune this rod. It performs flawlessly when fishing a jerkbait from a kayak. To our delight it also fishes many other baits really well! Many of our anglers like to cast a wacky rig and have pinpoint accuracy with "RIP". It is available in a casting or spinning application. Derek prefers to use the spinning application with most of his jerkbait fishing. If you love jerkbait fishing this rod is a must have!

Our premium composite blanks are USA made and designed for superior performance. Left unsanded, they offer rugged durability but retain their tournament winning sensitivity. These rods are lightweight, strong, and extremely sensitive. They deliver just the right parabolic bend to keep your tournament-winning monster pegged at the side of your yak. We paired that with the award-winning American Tackle guides, and high-performance components, for a truly powerful package. Beware, our rods are known to improve accuracy and increase casting distance!

Balance:

Our unique end cap doubles as a counter-balance giving you all-day comfort without fatigue.
