fishing rods and reels

Fishing rods are essential tools for catching fish. Their length, power and action all play an integral part in selecting an ideal fishing rod for you.

Rods that bend when fish strike are designed to allow you to detect bites more accurately, enabling you to reel them in without encountering an unruly bird’s nest of lines (tangling). Such rods come in fiberglass, carbon or composite materials.

Dobyns

Dobyns is a premium brand founded by Gary Dobyns, an accomplished competitive angler with over 100 tournament wins. After becoming dissatisfied with the quality of rods available on the market, Gary decided to build his own using only high quality materials and components in order to produce something that elevates fishing techniques while simultaneously promising durability.

The Dobyns rod features high-grade materials, such as Toray Nano graphite blank and Fuji reel seat. Furthermore, its tangle-free guides help reduce damage from braided line wraps. In addition, its large, dense cork grip offers comfort.

As with any art, fishing requires tools tailored to its conditions and challenges. Dobyns rods are carefully handcrafted to enhance any fishing experience from serene lakes to turbulent oceans; each rod designed with trout or bass species in mind.

St. Croix

St. Croix Island offers visitors 84 square miles of outdoor activities and recreational attractions to keep themselves occupied for months at a time, such as golf courses, water-slide parks and resort amenities that cater to various seasons of the year – as well as boating, camping, hiking and sailing opportunities! Additionally, snow sports, ice skating and other winter-time pursuits make for memorable trips and experiences!

St. Croix rods feature SC carbon material crafted into their bodies, ferrules and grips to produce lightweight yet strong yet sensitive rods. This high modulus and strain material enables St. Croix to fine tune each rod’s power, action and length with precision. St. Croix uses advanced rod series like Legend Surf and Eyecon Trolling that incorporate ART technology for enhanced strength, action and reduced weight; new proprietary manufacturing processes incorporate resin that increases compression during hookset and flexural strength under load resulting in light yet powerful yet highly sensitive rods.

Okuma

Boasting premium lightweight Okuma Toray carbon construction for incredible sensitivity and power, as well as double locking Sea Guide Alien reel seat design with RS Sea Guide inserts providing unmatched hardness, this series provides superior sensitivity and power.

Okuma created Dream Site1 (DS1) in 2013 in order to realize their goal of “Made in Japan to Win Around the World.” Despite an ever-rising yen, Okuma remained competitive by eliminating waste by creating an innovative smart factory which maximized production efficiency with automation and IoT technologies.
