The Dark Matter DMSJB66BAY John Skinner Jig and Bounce 6'6" Medium Heavy Casting Rod was scientifically designed to snap bucktails up off the bottom aggressively while still allowing the rod to give a major assist during hookset loading pressure down the blank to the reel seat. This has been tough to find in off the shelf rods in previous years, as you'd typically get either a fast tip that'd work the bucktail great but yank lures out of the fluke's grasp or moderate action rods that produced solid hooksets but a slow, tedious lure action that frequently went un-noticed by hungry flatties.
The John Skinner Jig and Bounce series rods are acid wrapped, with the guides wrapping down the spline of the rod to produce a much smoother retrieve while hooked up. Additionally, the ultra-tacky fore grip and extended butt were specifically designed for hours of bottom bouncing without fatigue. Every aspect of this rod was thoroughly researched and well-applied. The John Skinner Jig and Bounce series represents the pinnacle of technique specific weapons that simply out fish mass-produced general-purpose rods of days past.
