St. Croix Legend Salt Offshore Rods

Legends are made from strength, performance and endurance, and St. Croix’s all-new Legend Salt offshore rods have no problem living up to their name. Featuring advanced resin and design technologies, the blanks are designed using St. Croix’s proprietary Integrated Poly Curve tooling technology, which results in continuous-curve tapers with no abrupt, weak transition points.

Speed Master Caranx Kalbutsu Rods

The Caranx Kaibutsu Popping rods captures the hearts of many Saltwater Anglers with its superior performance.

Pinnacle Perfecta Rods

Hands down this is the best Pinnacle rod I have ever fished. The Perfecta rods successfully break the mold of what many anglers might expect from the brand. These rods make use of quality components and a successful blank design that blends both power and sensitivity into a surprisingly crisp and lightweight blank.

SHIMANO BEASTMASTER BX2030 ROD

I initially paired the Torium with the Shimano Vengeance rod, but now use it mainly on a Shimano Beastmaster BX 2030 rod which carries a modest RRP of £98. This is a good blank that suffers from some rather over-the-top superficial styling.

G Loomist Pro-Green Series Fishing Rod

The Pro Green Series is a special set of inshore saltwater rods created for anglers preferring to fish small jigs, soft plastics and any number of artificial baits, including topwaters for myriad saltwater species. A great choice for school-sized blues and stripers along the Atlantic Coast as well as redfish, seatrout, permit, bonefish, snook and small tarpon in Florida and all along the Gulf coast, these rods offer a surprising blend of power, light weight and sensitivity. There are three different power-ratings and three different rods lengths offered in each power to cover the variety of water depths and conditions each region offers.

G Loomist IMX® SURF Series Rod

The new IMX® SURF Series are extremely powerful, high-modulus, light weight spinning rods designed specifically for the long-range casts required to successfully fish the surf. They have smaller diameters that create less air-resistance during the casting stroke, with faster actions, creating tremendous tip-speed to virtually launch lures into the next time zone and enough power to handle stripers, blues, sierras, roosters, big drum and cobia.

CrossCurrent Fly Fishing Rod

CrossCurrent Fly Rod

Whether you choose our standard CrossCurrent rods for back ups or for your budget, they are outstanding fishing tools. You might call them “power tools” for the flats. We use our “fiber blend technology” to combine the benefits of strength and stiffness of different materials to build a powerful alternative for anglers at any level of proficiency. These four- piece sticks are every bit as smooth, as powerful and as efficient as any fly rod on the market. Blending different materials allows us to take advantage of the unique properties of each without overbuilding the blank.
