After trying several long rod brands on the market we have started to experiment with having our own built according to our specifications and desired qualities. We had 12 prototypes built and will offer a few to the public. We wanted a tough and durable rod that will hold up to the most demanding fishing conditions for livescope style fishing. These rods have CNC machined stainless rings set into stainless frames. AAA cork grips with ample length for optimum hand placement. Graphite cushioned reel seats with stainless hoods all built to a carbon core high strain graphite construction blank with Blank Thru technology that yields ultra high sensitivity. The 2 piece construction has precision fit machine matched ferrules for durability and sensitivity. Made in the USA!!! 1 year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship to the original owner.
