The rod performs well in cold weather with no line tangles. The cork handle is comfortable and the guides stay clean even after long sessions. Great for using with the Clam Predator tip up.
Audrey Roberts –
Strong action and good control when fighting large fish. The locking reel seat helps with stability during heavy pulls. A bit stiff in the tip, but that’s expected for a predator rod.

Felt like a solid investment. The fiberglass blank holds up well under aggressive strikes. Line runs smoothly thanks to the titanium guides. Easy to maintain and reliable in winter conditions.
