Jabbers was conceived by fishing tackle designers who were crazy about freshwater monster fish and aspire to conquer as many species as possible in their lifetime.

Due to the unavailability of travel rods for their specialized fishing needs, they set out to design rods for this monster quest – multi piece rods that could be packed in small haversacks for ease of traveling, with the sensitivity of a single piece rod, yet robust enough to handle powerful fishes.

The first prototypes quickly drew strong interest from like-minded monster fish enthusiasts from France and Indonesia, and the Jabbers team was formed. The initial concept of targeting freshwater river monsters quickly escalated to area specific solutions for demanding anglers.

We at Cudakilla were fortunate enough to test these rods out thoroughly and they were outstanding in terms of build quality and price. True to our goal of providing carefully tested and curated products for the discerning fishermen, we are now proud to represent this up and coming brand to the western market. We're sure you're going to be just as pleased with the versatility and performance of these rods as we are.


The Wanderlust Travel Rod

The Wanderlust is a 5+1-piece travel rod utilizing a proprietary formulation of combining different Toray carbon cloth laid in a multi axis configuration for the best strength and sensitivity ratio. These rods are suitable for different terrains, be it land based casting or fishing from a boat. Paired with quality components (SiC guides) from Fuji Japan, the Jabbers Wanderlust is robust enough to handle a traveller’s fishing needs. Available with a Jiggerlust extendable butt for jigging applications.

The Wanderlust Spinning and Casting Rod
The Jabbers Wanderlust is designed to also work light vertical jigs up to 100g and packs plenty of power to stop inshore pelagics. The addtional butt extension achieves a perfect balance with spinning reels between 3000 (Daiwa) to 4000 (Shimano) sizes. Carefully constructed using Toray carbon cloth and featuring Fuji SiC K guides/reel seat, this travel stick closes down to a packed length of only 45cm and is definitely the one rod to pack in your suitcase no matter where you may be going.

All Jabbers rods are constructed using quality Fuji guides and do not require extra maintenance. It is however important to thoroughly flush down all the guides and the reel seat with fresh water after use to prevent corrosion.

Construction and Care
All the joints on your Jabbers rods have been carefully constructed to provide a good fit. However, with continuous use, there is a chance that the joints may start to loosen due to wear and tear. The use of a thin layer of ferrule wax will eliminate this problem. Jabbers recommend the use of Loon Outdoors Graffitolin Ferrule Wax. For proper application of ferrule wax, please refer to instructions on Loon Outdoors website. After exposure to salt water, high temperature and humidity, there is a chance that the joints become hard to dismantle. Do not try to twist the rod by holding onto the guides. This may damage the guides. Instead, wash the joints with fresh water, use a rod wrap and coil snugly around the blank. This provides an excellent grip on the blank and will help you dismantle your rod with ease. If this does not work, further cool down your rod with freshwater and try again. See section on rod care.

Protection
The high-density neoprene rod bag that is provided will adequately shield your rod from scratches and harmful UV rays. Always keep your rod in the neoprene bag until you need it. If you plan to transport your rod in a checked-in luggage, the use of the Jabbers Expedition case is highly recommended to protect your rods from rough handling.

Replacements
All sections can be ordered individually should you require replacements due to breakage.
