Heavy-Power Bass Rod for Jigs, Texas Rigs, and Cover

Jigs, Texas rigs, frogs, and other single-hook bass presentations often call for enough backbone to set the hook and control fish around cover. The Old 18 Knighthawk 7' Heavy Fast Casting Rod pairs heavy power with a fast action and a 3/8- to 1-ounce lure rating for heavier casting applications.

A Strong Match for Heavier Bass Presentations

• ✅ Heavy power provides the backbone useful for firm hooksets and controlling bass around grass, wood, docks, and other cover
• ✅ Fast action keeps more of the rod's initial flex toward the tip, a useful characteristic when working jigs and Texas rigs and driving a single hook on the strike.
• ✅ 3/8- to 1-ounce lure rating covers many jigs, weighted Texas rigs, frogs, and other heavier bass presentations
• ✅ The 7-foot length keeps the rod manageable for pitching and target casting while still providing useful rod length for moving line and controlling fish around cover.
• ✅ 40-ton graphite blank with X-Wrap construction provides the foundation for the Knighthawk's lightweight, responsive design
• ✅ Split-grip cork handle provides direct hand contact and a 10.5-inch handle length for casting and fish control
• ✅ Nine 316 stainless marine-grade guides with zirconia rings manage line along the one-piece blank

Real-World Performance

Put this rod to work when pitching or casting a jig beside wood, working a weighted Texas rig through vegetation, swimming a jig around grass, or throwing a frog over cover. The heavy-power, fast-action combination favors techniques where you want a responsive hookset followed by enough rod power to turn a bass away from cover, provided the complete lure or rig stays within the 3/8- to 1-ounce rating.
