YAKRODS™ introduces a breakthrough magnetic retention solution engineered specifically for kayak fishing. Our proprietary Magnetic Tether System™ (MTS) prevents costly rod loss overboard—a problem we understand firsthand as paddling anglers.

Performance:

Master the Ned rig with a rod engineered for finesse fishing. The Y-NED features a stripped-down skeleton reel seat and repositioned hook keeper that free up your grip, letting your hand stay planted on the blank for maximum control. USA-made composite blanks deliver tournament-grade sensitivity without the sandpaper finish—rugged yet razor-sharp for detecting the lightest takes. Paired with premium American Tackle guides and a parabolic action that keeps trophy fish pinned to your kayak, this lightweight powerhouse rewards precision casters with deadly accuracy and surprising distance. Fair warning: anglers report this rod makes them dangerously good.

Balance:

Experience fatigue-free casting throughout the day with our innovative end cap design, engineered to function as an integrated counter-balance system that enhances comfort during extended use.
