Thread: J & M Tackle Profile 8 ft King Rods

Hey, probably heading over to J & M for an 8 ft Profile Rod with the Cork handle for $65. Everything I've heard about them were great, I'm pairing a 5000 Size reel with it. I'm investing in an inexpensive rod right now because Im leaving for college. Has anyone tried it?

Own one myself. Worth every penny on it. It has a great backbone with good flex for casting. Have had that thing doubled over without any worries.

I don't think with the research done by Mr. John on rod blanks and components they sell any inferior products at all

Just what Bill said. I got my hands on one before he had even put them on the sales floor a year and a half ago. He recommended it to me. He knew I was looking for a better king rod than what I had but couldn't spend a lot of money.

Hey thanks!!1 Thats settled, I'm going to get one today!

Sounds like such a great deal I just had John put one back will pick it up last week of April. Thanks for the turn on.

Alrighty, went ahead and got one today along with a Sea Striker 7'0" Baitcasting Medium rod for inshore trout and reds and/or spanish fishing and love both of them. Alway's lots of help at J&M. My favorite store haha.

Here's hoping you have plenty of big fish to put all your new equipment to the test. Especially kings and Spanish. Write reports. Post pictures.
