Capt. Fred's Custom flats rod is built on a handsome 3 piece American Tackle Matrix blank, which features a reinforced butt section for extra power. The broken down length measures 39 inches for ease of transport to wherever you fish, be it Belize, the Bahamas, the flats of Florida, or the Indian Ocean. The premium cork handle not only looks great, but provides maximum sensitivity. Built for snook and redfish on the flats of Tampa Bay, it's a great choice for permit and bonefish wherever you find them. The short butt makes this rod the perfect choice for paddle fishermen who often fish from the sitting position. Uses more of the rod to make those ultra long casts and to play fish. The ultimate trout rod -- built to cast an array of artificials between 1/16 and 5/8 of an ounce. Best fished with 8 to 10 pound monofilament, or 15 pound braid.

$195.00 includes Florida sales tax, shipping, handling and insurance. Shipped in a heavy duty PVC tube that can serve as a rod case. Order yours today at 813 830 8890
