The IKOS Hustler is built on an S-Glass blank that loads deep and casts crankbaits effortlessly. That parabolic bend helps launch smaller crankbaits farther while keeping steady pressure on fish during the fight so they stay pinned on lighter treble hooks. At the same time, the blank maintains enough strength to handle larger fish and mid-depth crankbaits without feeling bulky or heavy in hand. The result is a crankbait rod that stays comfortable all day while helping anglers land more of the fish that bite. Note: The Hustler does not feature an exposed blank reel seat due to the diameter of the rod blank.
