Performance:

"CRANK" fishes treble hook baits beautifully! This is a rod you can have in your hands all day long and never get tired of cranking along edges or through a target area. “CRANK” is also a staff favorite, as it is very versatile. If you were to leave the house with just one fishing rod, this may be the rod! 

Built with S-Glass technology this rod's superior blank design offers superior performance without sacrificing strength. With a tensile strength 40% higher than E-Glass and a 20% higher modulus, these rods are lightweight, strong, and extremely sensitive. They deliver just the right parabolic bend to keep your tournament-winning monster pegged at the side of your yak. We paired that with the award-winning American Tackle guides, and high-performance components, for a truly powerful package. Beware, our rods are known to improve accuracy and increase casting distance!

Balance:

We understand that space on a kayak is a premium. That’s why we’ve tuned our rods to offer a shortened handle without sacrificing balance. Our unique retention system doubles as a counter-balance giving you all-day comfort without fatigue. We coupled that with soft-touch technology for a downright luxurious experience.
