The Tesoro Jigging and Slow Pitch Rod family will include a total of seven models that come in both spinning and casting configurations. This includes three casting speed jig / bottom fishing rods ranging from five-foot eight inches to six-foot and actions ranging from heavy to extra-extra heavy.

Tesoro Jigging Rods are crafted with components intended to ensure an unparalleled fishing experience. The Sea Guide stainless steel deep pressed guide frames and Zirconium inserts offer compatibility for both braid and mono lines, ensuring smooth and tangle-free casting. Utilizing Fuji reel seats, known for their maximum performance and reliability, anglers can assure they will always have a secure connection between the rod and reel. Slow pitch rods models will feature spiral wrapped guides to reduce torque, as well as split rear grips with custom protective spacer to provide comfort. Additionally, the speed jig models are designed with full rear and fore tapered TPE grips for improved handling. All models are equipped with a heavy-duty hook keeper for attaching jigs, making them the perfect choice for serious jigging enthusiasts. Slow Pitch Casting models features spiral wrapped guide configuration A spiral wrap guide configuration on a casting rod transitions the guides from the top of the blank to the bottom, allowing the rod to load more naturally under pressure. This reduces torque, increases stability when fighting fish, and helps keep the rod from twisting, resulting in better control, balance, and overall performance.
