Well,,,I’ve been looking for awhile for a good balanced rod for jigging and decided today to order a 13 ft version of this baby,,,,hopefully it’s as good as the hype….looking forward to trying out some jigging this season…paired it up with my pfleuger president xt and some 8 lb fire line crystal…totally something different then what my most recent rods and line are. Ought to be quite the learning curve….
Anybody have one of these yet? I’d like to hear your comments
know a few folks that use them , dont know much about them though
I have an x13. It’s a fine rod, a little heavy with the balancing discs on the back. It is a sensitive rod, though, no doubt and made well.
Thanks DHC. I look forward to jigging some crappie with her,,,just wanted to try something new, ough5 to be a winner …..
I have one and really like it. It is a great pitching rod also. I also have a 15 footer and it is a load on tired old arms.
I have one and use it regularly. I like it. It balances nicely and is also super sensitive. Nice to get out in front of the boat. Plus Jenko has a 3 year warranty so if you break it or whatever you can get a new x13 for $65 better than another $180 if you like it and want another!
I fish with a 15 ft. version and was not impressed for the amount paid . I really am not a fan of super stiff rods of any length . The Kevin rogers jigging rod in the 13 ft. is half of that and feels better to me . I am not a tournament guy so if its swims further out than 16 ft. I will cast to it . jmo . ps . not bashing both are Jenko rods .
I have had the X13 for one year plus. Like it a lot. No complaints, sensitive and well made. Does the job for me.

I usually fish my southern crappie 14 ft when spider rigging or my Lews signature 12 ft most any other time,,,my Todd huckabee 10 fter is my in close or casting rod..they have have their place on my wall hangers or on my boat.
I really like my 13 foot Kevin Rogers signature series.
Might be similar to what you ordered.

Well,,,my package arrived today and needless to say I was about as excited as a kid with new daisy red rider,,,,I bring in this giant tube that Fed Ex dropped off as soon as it came off the truck,,,,I look at the way to open the tube and to my surprise, It was already open on one end,,,, I immediately hold it up and look inside,,,Nothing! Somebody freaking stole my $160 freaking rod…or lost something that fell out of a 15 ft box and couldn’t figure which box it came out of,,,,lol,,,,thanks to bass pro via their man taking care of shipping, they are sending me a replacement ….by way of USPS express shipping! Now that’s service!
I have been using 16' BGJP's for a couple of years now along with the 16' Pro Staff.
I just started using the 16' Huckabee K-rod past two outings and it serves me better. Not as light as the BGJP, but ease of hook set and sensitivity is a ton better. I just picked up the Jenko X-15 (two-piece) and an HH Tsunami 16' (3 piece, which arrives today) and have yet got to use them. I will be able to chime in on all of them after this weekend. Granted, it will just be one outing with the later two, but usually the stark differences that each will have may give some insight for those that are on the fence. I will say its going to be hard to beat that K rod, but the X-15 is only 8.5" shorter from tip to the reel set and a good bit lighter and is easily 3 times as stiff as a BGJP. Im ready to see the new 16' Tsunami which is just a hair lighter than the X-15, but I sure hope it has some backbone to it.
I don't know of a person not on a Pro-Staff with another company that has went Jenko X-13 or Jenko X-15 Series needing over 12 foot from a rod that has left & converted to something else after using them.:scratchhead The X-10 is a normal rod but the X-13 & X-15 have a totally different feel. I don't know of another 2 Piece Rod even in the ring to compete with it. MONSTER RODS.:superman Respectfully the Jenko Kevin Rogers:yikes, Jenko HyperSense:yikes, Jenko Cypress :yikes, ACC Crappie Stix:yikes, BnM Blue Diamond Series :yikes, Rods are inferior to the X-Series. :Rofl The BoneHead E-Series or regular Green 10ft is a better feel of a Rod with more back bone than the Jenko X-10. 10 foot - 12 foot I'm BoneHead for the feel & yanking power to get fish out without all the extra U-Shape Yo Yo Bend. You have a winner with Bass Pro & your X-13 & X-15 to me because Bass Pro offers warranty. Feel of what you want out of a Rod is PERSONAL!! X-13, X-15, & BoneHead E-Series 10Foot & 12Foot do it for me. When I set the hook I want them out the water vs horsing me around tying me up on timber, brush, or structure. :ThumbsUp How about an update from your original post, what do or did you think of the X-13 or X15? Jumping Jacks Icon:popcorn
I like the X15 paired with a bait caster. I use them in tournaments a lot but rarely on guide trips. Most my guide trips were using the 11’ Kevin Rogers or a 7’ Trick Stick if were casting or shooting docks. I will say you can boat flip a 3.5 pounder no problem with an X15!
@Takeum... Well don't ask UnLikeU, he might be a tad bit bias towards them.:Rofl:Rofl:cheers2 2 X-15, 3 X-13, & 2 X-10's. The X-15 & X-13 are the best 12foot plus rods I've ever touched. I'm never touching another pole over 12 foot at this moment. 12 foot & 10 foot I say BoneHead Rods are the biggest bang for your buck that I experienced :biggrinAttachment 484051
Can't wait to hear your comments after you get thumped & land 1 with your X13 or X15. OMG..:cheers2
I have a 10 foot Berkley , bought on clearance at Academy for ....read carefully ....... .99 cents !
