The Dark Matter John Skinner Jig and Bounce Casting Rod is a purpose-built option for anglers targeting fluke in both bay and open-ocean conditions. built to handle shallow water jigging as well as deeper ocean applications, this single rod offers the versatility needed for jig-and-bounce techniques. Built on a Dark Matter blank with a specialized taper, it makes bouncing bucktails along the bottom efficient and controlled. Spiral-wrapped Fuji Alconite K guides improve line management, while the Fuji reel seat keeps the setup comfortable and balanced. An oversized EVA foregrip adds leverage, and the extended split rear grip combines a textured upper section for secure handling with a contoured EVA lower section that cushions the forearm and reduces fatigue during long days on the water.
