Bullseye PelaJerk 198 Spinning Rod 1.98m 20–85g

Bullseye PelaJerk 198 — Powerful Versatility for Pelagic Predators

The PelaJerk 198 20–85g combines exceptional sensitivity with remarkable backbone, delivering precise lure control and the power to handle hard-fighting pike and zander in open water and vertical presentations.

Built for Medium to Heavy Jerkbaits and Softbaits

With a 20–85g casting window, this rod excels at working larger jerkbaits, heavy softbaits, and spoons in pelagic zones. The progressive blank loads smoothly on the cast yet provides instant feedback on strikes and lure action, so you stay in control whether you're twitching, jerking, or retrieving steadily. The slightly firmer tip compared to the 15–65g variant reduces missed strikes with heavier lures and lets you set the hook confidently at distance.

Uncompromising Strength in a Lightweight Package

Despite weighing under 150g, the PelaJerk 198 can handle loads up to 8kg at 90 degrees — outperforming many heavier vertical rods. This exceptional strength-to-weight ratio means you can fish all day without fatigue, yet have the backbone to control big fish in open water or when fishing from a boat, kayak, or belly boat. The Fuji ECSM reel seat ensures direct blank contact for maximum sensitivity, while the 10+1 Fuji K SS AL guide train handles braid and mono with equal ease.
