GL X

CASTING AND SPINNING - BASS

FLIP/PUNCH

Powerful series of bass rods designed for stealthy, up-close jig or soft-plastic presentations when fish are reluctant to chase and won’t leave cover. Extremely sensitive for feeling light bites, but sneaky strong for powering big fish away from snags and other heavy cover. GLX makes them extremely powerful for rods that feel this light, with more sensitivity than you can imagine.

DROPSHOT

Soft tip lets fish mouth the bait with minimal resistance - magnum-taper loads up so quickly just lifting the rod creates positive hookset. Actions are extra-fast, but the tips are soft so the angler can impart a subtle wiggle to the bait without lifting the weight off the bottom. GLX technology creates a light tip weight so you can fish all day with minimal fatigue and the ultimate feel.

SHAKYHEAD

Our Shakyhead rods are designed to impart an enticing quiver in a small finesse-worm and jighead combo by subtly shaking the rod and keeping the bait in place. Slightly stiffer in the tip- section because flex starts about 4” down from tip, to create the “shake” with minimal rod movement. Our proprietary GLX technology makes it easy to detect even the lightest bites.
