The "Forward-Facing Sonar" Fishing Rod
SONAR ROD
After designing the Kistler Jerk Bait Rod, we put it through a gauntlet of tests, confirming again and again that it was more capable of drawing the attention of fish than jerk bait rods made by other brands.
We watched – in real time – as trophy-size bass and other species were enticed and triggered
to bite more often based on a few distinct design factors and characteristics.
Two of the major aspects of the perfect jerk bait rod are a shorter rod length and a shorter handle, which allows for more control over the lure’s movement and speed.
The Lite-Medium-Heavy style rod is the ideal combination for casting any jerkbait, no matter its size or weight.
Our Jerk Bait Rod is specially designed so that when you see a fish on the screen, you can cast directly into the area near it that you choose and hone your retrieval of the lure to draw the fish’s attention and get a strike.
The rods are made with Extreme High Modulus KISTLER KC9 100% Japanese Carbon by Toray, which provides incredible sensitivity so anglers can detect the tiny pecks and nibbles that indicate a bigger strike is about to take place.
