When it takes an average of 10,000 casts to catch a fish, and when that fish can easily weigh in excess of 40 pounds, it’s bound to put some pressure on your equipment, especially when many of the strikes are right next to the boat. Luckily, our design engineers are always up for a challenge and with the help of Minnesota muskie master, Al Maas, we ended up with an arsenal of finely tuned rods that will satisfy even the most die-hard muskie fanatic. Light as a feather, extremely powerful and durable, every one of these technique-specific rods benefits from fast, magnum tapers that improve casting accuracy and lure control, not to mention their ability to whip a fish in a hurry. Just how specific are they? There’s a short jerkbait rod for heavy cover, a short jerkbait rod for open water, rods for every conceivable bucktail and even a trolling rod for the big lakes and serious plug pullers. After all, if you score your day on follows and swirls, and cast all week for one strike, you want to at least have an enjoyable rod to fish with.  

The 756 gives you maximum leverage, casting accuracy and lure control for big, oversized jerkbaits. Whether you're a swisher, blooper, ripper or chugger, this rod deals out total chaos for muskie in any cover.
