Right now I use a 7'2 Heavy Shimano Crucial Worm and Jig rod for all my lures (mostly fish pike but use bass gear for it all). Throwing 3/8 swim jigs, 1 oz spoons, and everything in between. I just hate how short the handle is on the rod.
I've been checking out Tackle Warehouse cause they post handle lenghts and I want a rod with a 17 inch handle. The Megabass Levante AKLYS fits the bill but it says it's made for Punching. Im wondering how a punching rod is different from my worm and jig rod, and if the AKLYS would be a good all around Pike rod.
I'm open to other recommendations but I do like rods with EVA split grips. Thanks in advance.
