Killers-00 is Gan Craft's freshwater big-bait and swimbait rod line, built around the company's own Jointed Claw class of multi-jointed swimbaits and the broader heavy-lure bass category. The casting lineup runs from a 6'4" Medium Light rated to 2 oz up to a 7'6" extra-heavy rated to 9 oz, covering everything from compact glide baits and small jointed swimbaits through magnum-class wood and resin baits. The three spinning models cover lighter finesse-leaning swimbait and small hard-bait presentations where a spinning reel suits the cast weight. Model codes follow Gan Craft's KG-00 (casting) and KGS-00 (spinning) format, with the leading number marking the maximum lure weight in ounces and the trailing letters the length and power. Each rod is named individually rather than by a numbered tier, and the EXH blanks at the top of the range carry the heaviest big-bait classes. No per-rod pricing or line ratings are published on the Gan Craft site, so specs here come directly from the model codes.
