Baitcasting rods are designed for anglers who want maximum control when fishing with heavier lures for pike, zander and other predators. They are used with a baitcasting reel and usually have a trigger grip for accurate casting.
For jerkbaits, swimbaits and heavy softbaits
Choose a shorter, powerful casting rod for jerkbaits and close-range accuracy. For swimbaits and larger softbaits, a slightly longer rod with a progressive action gives better casting distance and lure control.
