At 6 feet, 8 inches with a medium action, the new Michael Murphy Signature Jerkbait and Topwater rod was designed with versatility and comfort in mind when fishing in a downward motion, or when there is a need to target fish around shoreline cover.
"I designed this rod, because I was looking for something with a slightly shorter handle, but still a good length rod out in front of the reel," Murphy said. "At 6 feet, 8 inches, this rod allows me to fish lures in a downward motion without my rod dragging the water when I am using lures such as a soft jerkbait, a hard jerkbait like my signature IMA Flit or a topwater. It has a good backbone for setting the hook, towards the base of the rod, but a soft tip to easily work your lure and to still achieve a long cast.
"I absolutely love the short split grip handle," Murphy said. "It keeps the rod lightweight, sensitive and makes it easy to fish when you are wearing several layers of clothes in the cold springtime months while throwing hard jerkbaits, or when you are target casting around laydowns or docks with jerkbaits, topwaters or even crankbaits."
The rod is offered in both spinning and casting models. Murphy also likes to skip docks with the spinning version with lightweight tackle.
"The lighter tip allows it to easily load up to skip, but the stout base allows you to get a solid hook set to fight the fish out," Murphy said. "These rods are the most versatile rods in my lineup, and I absolutely love them!"
