"WMD" Swordfish Rod — Select Series
"WMD" Swordfish Rod — Select Series
Nicknamed the “Weapon of Mass Destruction” by hard-fishing South Florida sword experts, our specialized swordfish tip rod design doesn’t give the fish a chance.
The heavy version, designed for South Florida’s strong currents and rough conditions, can handle up to 15 lbs. of lead while still remaining sensitive enough to see bites and to absorb shock during long fights, preventing hooks from wearing holes in fish.
Available in 63” and 69” lengths (tip to ferrule).
Our Select Series rods represent our most popular colors and configurations to simplify the ordering process. If you’re interested in higher level of customization, please give us a call or shop our fully custom rods.
