What goes into building the Best Performing Inshore Spinning Rod on the market?
Let’s face it: the majority of tackle shops today are filled with Factory Built Rods made by various brands. Fishermen have grown accustomed to buying rods off the rack, and are often times settling for a rod that is simply “good enough”.
As long as it catches fish, it passes the test, right?
But what if you had a rod that was specifically designed to optimize casting distance & artificial lure performance?
Contrary to popular belief, we have found that the rod is the Most Important Tool for any angler's arsenal who wants to consistently catch quality fish with lures.
Having a rod that is lightweight, strong, & sensitive are the 3 Keys to having an advantage over the biggest/smartest fish. But it turns out, there's so much more to this process...
Over the past few years, we’ve been working with multiple rod building experts and learned that there’s no better way to dial-in the performance of a rod without first building one yourself.
We were surprised about how the mass production rod manufacturers were overlooking some EXTREMELY important details in their rods designs that decreases the actual performance of the rod.
One of the biggest missed opportunities that most rod manufacturers seem to overlook is Guide Spacing and Reel Pairing. Having a guide layout that's placed appropriately for your specific reel size will help optimize casting distance while also reducing the potential for wind knots.
After countless hours of field-testing multiple prototype rods, we are proud to say we've nailed in the Recipe for the Perfect Inshore Spinning Rod. And we've made sure this rod was designed to match perfectly with the majority of 2500 & 3000 sized Spinning Reels on the market today.
From soup to nuts, the Slot Machine Custom Rod was designed to exceed an Inshore Anglers expectations.
Note: The initial version of this rod was introduced in early 2023 and it was a huge hit with our members. And this current 2024 version is even better so you'll surely fall in love with this premium rod if you give it a try.
