Bullseye PelaJerk 198 (Casting)

Intensively Tested and Optimised

The Bullseye PelaJerk rods went through extensive testing sessions with the Bullseye team. Time and again, fishing specialists such as René Berndt and Thomas Kofler put them through their paces until the result was exactly right - rods optimised 100% for their specific fishing applications, convincing in both performance and appearance. Built on a Lotus-Woven-Composite blank with Fuji K SS AL ring guides, the emphasis was firmly on extreme balance. These rods are perfectly balanced and require no additional weight. Functionality is central to the design, and the short handle contributes to outstanding handling. That handle is finished with high-quality EVA and features a Fuji ECSM reel seat. The reel seat allows direct contact with the blank, delivering direct transmission of even the most subtle contact. Everything the rod feels, you feel too - giving you the speed and confidence to strike cleanly. Uncompromising power combined with extreme lightness ensures those strikes land, even with large predators that have a very hard mouth. As a practical bonus for transport, the rod splits at the handle. This preserves the blank's action while saving valuable length during transport. With the thoroughly tested and purpose-optimised PelaJerk rods, you are perfectly equipped when pike on jerkbaits and zander and pike in pelagic fishing are your target species.

Two Variants for the Same Methods but Different Conditions

The PelaJerk rods are available in two variants, each measuring 198 cm. The lighter rod has a casting weight of 20 - 85 g and is based on a Lotus-Woven-Composite-36 Ton blank. This blank is very light and extremely sensitive, yet provides the backbone you need when hunting big fish. This rod excels at jerking with modern jerkbaits - with its sensitivity in both presentation and bite detection - as well as pelagic fishing for large predators, particularly in still and slow-flowing waters. The heavier rod with a casting weight of 40 - 160 g comes into its own when targeting big pike with larger jerkbaits. The Lotus-Woven-Composite-40 Ton blank performs equally well for pelagic fishing with very heavy heads in fast-flowing waters. Whether tidal venues such as the Weser or fast-flowing stretches of the Rhine in Germany and the Netherlands, this rod gets the lure down quickly and precisely to the fish. Both rods deliver exceptional power and can be loaded at a 90-degree angle with a 9 kg weight - more than many dedicated vertical rods built for wels catfish fishing can handle. It is no surprise that during testing, wels catfish to 2 m were caught on them.

A Rod Built Specifically for Zander

The Bullseye PelaJerk 198 series now includes the PelaJerk 198 with a 15 - 65 g casting weight. The focus here is on targeted pelagic zander fishing and lighter lures in general. Casting accurately at fish when sharpshooting becomes straightforward and enormously enjoyable with this rod. This is not a broomstick - it is a rod that gives you real pleasure in the fight. As with the other models, close attention was paid to ensuring that the highest-quality components meet a timelessly elegant design. It looks the part, feels right in the hand, and is remarkably effective.
