Technical Information

Rods:
  Currently we offer casting rods, spinning rods, and trolling rods. These rods are fabricated out of stainless spring steel which makes them very corrosion resistant and highly durable. A spring coil is formed in the rod to add flexibility and allows for sensitivity and action. The rods have the following sensitivity levels:

8 Coil Spinning Model
Up to 2 lbs

2-tip model

Adjustable:
  The Mountaineer model is designed with an articulating joint just behind the reel seat. This joint allows the user to adjust the handle portion (short or long) to any desired position within 180 degrees. This offers the consumer the ability to position the handle in a position that best fits their hand for a more anatomically correct fit.

Balancing System:
  The Mountaineer and Kayak King models are designed to allow the user to attach various combinations of weights to the butt end of the handle. These weights provide balance to the pole at any point on the handle the user chooses. By balancing the pole the user improves comfort and minimizes fatigue to the hand, arm, and shoulder. The weights are held in place by a removable handle butt cap.

Quick Release Quarter Turn Connection:
  All handles and rods are designed with this connection mechanism. This connection by the turning of 90 degrees allows the user to quickly disassemble the rod from the handle for storage or for changing to another style of rod. The rod is pushed into the end of the handle where a spring is compressed allowing the handle to be rotated 90 degrees into locating slots. The spring then pushes the rod into position locking it in place.
