Bassmaster Elite Pro and Bass Fishing Hall of Fame, Mike Iaconelli and legendary manufacturer of fishing tackle, Abou Garcia have unveiled a whole new range of IKE Signature Series rods and reels, designed for anglers looking for performance specific to their technique. Designed to cover Iaconelli’s unique fishing style, these rods and reels offer custom models for specific bass fishing applications, allowing all anglers to “fish like Ike.”

The updated IKE Signature Series rods are made from 30-ton graphite with Powerlux 200 resin, improving sensitivity and balance. They come in three lines, each designed for specialized use.

THE Delay Series includes five different casting patterns, all ideal for lure fishing, featuring a parabolic action that enhances long casts and absorbs shock from aggressive fish. For motor fishing techniques, the Power Series includes six rods optimized for applications like spinnerbait, Texas rig, Carolina rig and even heavy-duty mat punching.

For finesse fishermen, the Finesse Series The spinning rods include five models, each designed for precision techniques such as jigging/jumping, drop shot/wacky, all-around finesse, long drop shot, and long casting. These rods are designed to provide exceptional sensitivity for bottom contact techniques and a refined feel ideal for light angling.
