Frequently asked questions
Is this rod good for beginners?
Our 11’ rod is best suited for beginners who are comfortable making full casts and want to grow into a rod that offers more distance as their technique improves. It’s beginner-friendly, but not beginner-limited- a rod you won’t outgrow as your skills progress.
Can I use this rod for bait and lures?
This rod is designed to be extremely versatile. It shines whether you are casting out for a bait and wait session or throwing big plugs for big aggressive fish.
How does the travel breakdown work?
The rod assembles by pushing/twisting the rod ends together until snug. To unassemble, firmly twist each section and pull until loose.
Is it too stiff for smaller fish?
I use this rod to catch everything, including smaller whitings, perch, bluefish ect. Sometimes even smaller fish are out far and require the extra length of the rod to be able to reach.
