ZOLO Jerkbait Casting Rod

Jerkbait fishing a rod tip that lets you build a cadence and doesn’t rip the bait. It also needs a handle design that stays out of the way. The ZOLO Jerkbait is tuned to deliver the right lure action, keeping treble-hooked fish pinned, and not getting in your way during the delivery.

Description

Jerkbaits rely on sharp rod movements to create the erratic action that triggers strikes. The ZOLO Jerkbait’s responsive tip delivers crisp snaps that bring twitch baits to life, while its shorter platform improves cadence and reduces fatigue during repeated rod movements. A specially designed shorter rear handle prevents the rod from catching on clothing or hitting you during aggressive jerks, and the hooded locking nut adds comfort when you rest a finger on the reel seat while working the bait. Once a fish commits, the rod transitions into a controlled bend that helps keep treble hooks pinned without causing them to rip out.

WOW!!!!!

This is the best jerk bait rod I have ever used. Perfect length,balanced just right, awesome parabolic bend with great backbone. Third cast, I caught a three pounder and the rod performed incredibly great!! Another great rod from Alex and his crew!!

I bought this rod to try with jerkbaits, but will probably use it for smaller topwater baits like the gunfish style. I like the 7’0 ALX IKOs Hustler for a jerkbait.

Another fine peace of work by ALX

This rod is just what it's made for (Jerkbaits) And it shows and feels like a jerkbait rod should do, And that's to work the lure with life like motion with control and sensitivity. It fits its name perfectly.. Keep up the good work to all at ALX Rods.
