yea...at least the mbr, cbr and sjr models do.

i have a bronzeback a mossyback and an imx and they all have them

The drop shot rod does not have them. I bought a hook hanger from a fishing show/convention and it has a magnet inside and works wayyy better then the one I got from bps. I think they were call ez something

My GL2 models have them.

G-Loomis Dropshot rods are the only Bass rods that do not have hookkeepers. Instead they have an elastic band to hold a dropshot rig.

Thanks everyone...

My swimbait rod doesn't  :-[

drill a hole through the trigger and now you have a hook hanger.

Drilling a hole through a $250 rod just doesn't seem right.  I'd rather just b*tch about it.  I'll have to invest in something.

I did that with my okuma when the hook hanger broke.  It works like a charm.

i actually like it better than a factory hook hanger.you can't damage the blank.
