Most manufacturers are leaning to more tapered grips in their rods, which have their own benefits. But for the seesaw action of a topwater or jerkbait, the straight grip gets the nod. And the straight grip style is easy to tip back and forth while walking the dog on a Zara Spook or snapping a jerkbait in a twitch-twich-pause cadence to catch prespawn bass. The only drawback to this particular model of the Premier lineup is that it does not handle large Whopper Plopper-style topwaters.

Heavy lures will fare better on heavier line and baitcasting reels for better control and more power. Be sure to match line and lure to the rod’s ratings, which are listed at the base of the rod, to ensure top performance and prevent an uncomfortable day of fishing. Fishing crankbaits requires long casts to enable the lure to dive to the right depth.
