This rod performs well in both saltwater and freshwater. The fast action gives great line speed and control, especially when casting in tight spaces. The titanium guides hold up well after several trips to the coast. The grip is comfortable and the fighting butt provides solid support during pulls.
Harry Harris –
I’ve used this rod on rocky shores and in estuaries. The recoil snake guides reduce line twist, which helps with accuracy. It’s a bit heavy for short casts, but overall it’s reliable and responsive.

The craftsmanship is evident in every detail. Handcrafted in Woodland, Washington, it feels premium. The full wells and AAA cork grip add to the comfort. I’ve caught several large fish with it and appreciate the stability in windy conditions.

Good balance between power and finesse. The compound taper makes casting smooth even when the wind is against you. Not the lightest rod, but it delivers when you need it most.
