Developed in partnership with renowned South Florida captain Mutton Mike D, the Mutton Manager jigging/bottom rod is designed for use with braided line and compact reels. It features a shortened grip per Capt. Mike’s orders and combines a soft, shock-absorbing tip section with lots of backbone to turn powerful snapper, grouper, or kingfish.

In the combo, we pair the Mutton Manager with the powerhouse Okuma Alijos 12SII two-speed, lever drag reel, which delivers up to 34 lbs. of drag pressure and offers a fast 4.7:1 ration in high gear. The reel is delivered professionally spooled with white 40 lb. Cortland Master Braid line.
