    Abu Garcia Ike signature

    I was at a bass pro last night I'm grapevine Texas and these caught my eye.
    They are pretty, and out of some of the other rods like duckett, these had the guide set right with the spine.
    Anyone here used them? How did they hold up?

    I have the 6’4” jerkbait model. I love it for snapping jerkbaits and popping small topwaters. The action is perfect and for me (5’8”) the length is just about right. I wish it were a little longer for casting lighter baits but fixed that with Tatula SV TW.

    I bought my wife the 7'M to pair up with an Emeraldas 2508 and was really impressed with it. Beautiful rod that matched the Daiwa like it was made for it.
    Rod is light and quite sensitive for it's price.
    I felt like it was a little heavier action than what I was hoping for though, so I bought her the 6'10" ML and it is just right for tossing the TuRD.

    A very under appreciated rod. They're one of my favorites among Abus lineup. That 6-4 jerkbait rod is a dandy. Ike knew what he was doing designing the rods.
