Saku Laaksonen designed and named VERTIC SL rod especially for vertical jigging. The action of the rod is very fast, i.e. the best option especially for vertical jigging when fishing with large jigs. Lures up to 450g are suitable for the rod.
In a short time, Saku Laaksose has become one of the best and most famous fishermen in Finland. Saku's ability to fish for large pike and walleye is unparalleled. The most important tool for him is a good rod. With a good rod, getting the fish tired and up is more pleasant and fun.
Together with Saku Laaksonen, Scandinavian Tackle has developed and designed the new VERTIC SL rod bearing Saku Laaksonen's name, especially for vertical jigging. The action of the Vertic SL rod is super fast, i.e. very fast. According to Saku and several other fishermen, this is the best option, especially for vertical jigging when fishing with jigs of a large size. Lures up to 450g are suitable for the rod. The handle of the rod has a Winn grip coating, a strong reel mount and high-quality ceramic rod rings. The frame of the spoke rings is reinforced aluminum. The material of the rod blank is high-quality 30ton carbon fiber. The blank of the rod is one piece. The rod comes with a three-year warranty.

Blank: 30 tons of carbon fiber
Parts: 1 part
Rod rings: Ceramic inner ring, reinforced aluminum frame Saku Laaksonen describes the rod himself like this:
I started this design project because there was no suitable free model on the market. I personally like the fact that I can take care of everything with one rod. We can throw all lures from light to heavy through. Because the casting lengths are short, the rod is suitable for a wide range of lures. The rod is compact and light, can be used with one hand. The rod must also be durable. For me, the starting point is that a rod is a tool. The rod rings must be durable so that if someone steps on them in the boat and they don't break immediately. In addition, it is important that the back handle is long enough so that it can be used to support the armpit when the fish get tired. With the rod, you can throw lures up to 450g, but the heaviest ones can no longer be handled with one hand. The rod has the power to fight no matter what size the fish is. I use this free for walleye and pike.
