Our Classic rods are smooth and accurate through a full range of saltwater casting situations. Whether you're opening your loop slightly to manage a heavily weighted Clouser Minnow, or slipping a Bend Back under a mangrove behind a tight loop, these rods will respond to your stroke. Dual stripping guides and oversized snakes assure minimal friction. Once you hook up, the tough, medium-fast IM-7 blank takes over to subdue the fish quickly. 10' models are a great fit for anglers fishing surf, jetties, and from kayaks, as well as steelheaders looking for a little more reach.
