Performance:

“Y-NED” rod is specifically designed to optimize the performance of the Ned rig technique and enhance the angler's ability to detect the subtlest of bites and effectively land fish. We chose a skeleton reel seat and moved the hook keeper down to the grip section of the blank. This thoughtful design keeps everything out of the way and allows you to keep much of your hand and index finger directly on the blank while working your favorite finesse spinning reel. 

Our premium composite blanks are USA made and designed for superior performance. Left unsanded, they offer rugged durability but retain their tournament winning sensitivity. 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 know to increase accuracy and casting distance!

Balance:

Our unique retention system doubles as a counter-balance giving you all-day comfort without fatigue.
