The KISTLER Jig Head Minnow Rod is a specialty spinning rod built specifically for Forward Facing Sonar (FFS) techniques, giving anglers the precision casting and sensitivity needed to present jig head minnows to bass, crappie, and walleye. It’s designed for finesse presentations rather than general-purpose fishing.
The blank is KISTLER’s Duroplex DP-8X-24 Ton construction, paired with titanium frame guides with zirconia ring inserts and a Fuji reverse uplock graphite reel seat. The handle uses a cork fore grip for comfortable hand placement during precision casts, and the rod carries a Mod-Fast action.
The Jig Head Minnow Rod comes in a single configuration: a 6’9″ spinning model in Lite-Medium power, rated for 6-15 lb braid and 1/16-1/4 oz lures, built around an open water rod structure for forward facing sonar work.
