Saltwater Boat Spin Rods

The Spartan rod series delivers a range of technique specific actions that outcast, outperform and outclass all others. With increased torsional stiffness Spartan rods are able to resist blank twist during casting & jigging applications, ensuring that every action is transmitted efficiently through the blank to prevent energy loss. This results in a more responsive action with increased feedback, while providing maximum comfort and control to the angler. Spartan rods feature HVF Nanoplus blanks, 3DX carbon to increase lifting power and V-Joint to increase joint strength. Equipped with Fuji stainless steel SiC guides, Fuji reel seats, and high-density EVA grips.
