Now Available With Optional ALPS® Trim Kit
The Johnny Jigs® Grand Cru 6'6" blanks are built for serious slow-pitch and jigging applications, offering a refined taper, crisp recovery, and the backbone needed for offshore performance. Designed with custom rod builders in mind, these blanks give you a premium foundation to build exactly the rod you want.
