The IKOS Diver is built on a full S-Glass blank designed specifically for deep crankbait fishing. The softer tip loads smoothly to launch large baits like 10XD style crankbaits on long casts, helping them reach maximum running depth. As the rod bends deeper into the blank, it provides the backbone needed to drive hooks and maintain steady pressure during the fight. The extended handle supports two-hand casting and tucks comfortably under your arm, making it easier to grind deep cranks all day without fatigue. Note: The Diver does not feature an exposed blank reel seat due to the diameter of the rod blank.
