Temple Reef 66 Grand Cru Slow Pitch Jigging Rods

The Grand Cru is a very interesting addition to their lineup, the rest of the rods in their line are more traditional with a softer bend and less backbone while the Grand Cru aims to add some power and backbone to SPJ so that you can pull the bigger fish out of structure without worry. They maintain the 2 piece design but move the ratio further so the split in the rod is 70/30 giving you a much more powerful backbone for extra pulling power. They all feature a conventional guide layout which is perfect for the more powerful design. Anyone fishing tug-of-war style spots or species will love this rod, it will let you turn the fish before they get into the rocks, reef or kelp as well as give you more control over it if you’re on a party boat.
