We worked with BigDady Rods of central PA to design rods for river smallmouth fishing.  We use Taipan rod blanks, well known on the west coast and American made, which have extra fast tips but the back bone to handle big river smallies.  Fuji guides that are spaced just right for maximum casting. 

We designed a jerkbait rod that is made for cold water fishing.  An extra short handle, around 3 inches from the back of reel seat,  to keep out of all your cold weather gear with enough grip and backbone for handling even the largest of river smallies on jerks.  I use a 6 foot to be able to lower to the water for the long pause retrieve.  I use the 6’6” for the jerk jerk pause or the constant jerk.

You can customize your length and weight.
