As anglers it is fun to get focused on the baits and presentations we put at the end of our line, but one of the most effective ways to catch more fish is by improving your ability to sense and respond to bites. When it comes to bottom bouncing, the JB Designs Walleye Series Depth Strike rods are the best choice.
Fish It Like Nick
“JB Designs rods are the best way to take your fishing to the next level,” says Nick Harrington, Owner of Lip Ripper Fishing. “The Depth Strike rods are the first production option Josh has built, which means anglers can grab them and hit the water.”
The Depth Strike rods are 7’6” medium power with a moderate fast action.

“The length and action of the rod combine to make it both incredibly sensitive and a shock absorber,” continues Harrington. “It’s easy to detect a bite, and when you set the hook the landing percentage is going to be higher.”
This combination of length and action increases the ability for anglers to keep the fish hooked, and respond to head shakes and runs while maintaining control of the fish.
“When it comes to fighting big fish, the key is everything being smooth,” elaborates Harrington. “The Depth Strike rod looks and feels good, but the difference is truly on display when you hook into a nice one.”
The rods feature 30 Million Modulus Japanese Toray blanks, feature CRB Elite guides with Zirconia oxide guides, super grade cork, and an American Tackle G2 Wave reel seat.
“The Depth Strike rods are the perfect combination of light, sensitive, and strong,” concludes Harrington. “A quality rod helps you feel more bites, stick more hooksets, and ultimately land more fish. The Depth Strike is that quality rod when it comes to my choice for bottom bouncing.”
JB Designs is based out of Pierre, South Dakota, and can be purchased at Lynn’s DakotaMart or by contacting Josh Bible.
